OK 12 month ago the transmition work still didnt fix the shudder it came back after a few hundred hard Ks so I saved my money up & got the tourque converter rebuilt this time by the mob in Sydney that does the drag converters & its got all the good gear in it no plastic bearings bill came to$1,600,00 money well spent.
Cleaned the whole system out still finding things out about this van & fixing them from drivers power window that would not close that was a broken earth wire in the door hinge conduit to last bug was air con problem would not shut the flap on fresh air intake so cab cooling was crappy that was a vacuum hose under the turbo aftercooler had pulled apart took a lot of time to find & fix that would have cost heaps @ $75.00 per HR .
Repair software is hard to use & would not find this fault anyway electric valves & brake vacuum pump on these TDI engines to work things not mentioned . all fixed for 2011 now some caravan towing up the mountains to Nunndle NSW that will sort things out I will use 3rd gear for lots of the trip to keep turbo boost down low let the engine work around 3000 rpm should still get 10Lt to the 100 Klm if I do it right .
Happy new year felow sufferers.

Where can I get a really good shop manual. Pref teh genuine VW files!! Have just acquired a 2003 TDi Caravelle.

dont rush out & throw heaps of cash at the auto what the shudder is is the lockup clutch trying to lock the tranny into top gear at low speed but there aint enouth pressure to hold the clutch in so it slips feels like you are running over delineators on the center line goes right through the van ,.
transmition stuff is horribly expensive I have changed trany oils & filters every 6K klm but the problem comes back after a few thousand K . now I just grab the gear shift & drag it into 3 till i am doing about 90 then back to drive & it snaps into O?D or lock up no worries .
I am gatering intrest on my money while I study the CDs workshop manuals & I am looking carefuly into what can be done & what valves may be at fault .
Gunna try the trany reset trick listed on this site see what if anything changes .
