Audi MultiTronic Transmission failures - daryld

I am think of buying a new Audi A4 Avant with multitronic transmission for my wife and kids. Has any one heard of any reliability problems with this gearbox? I am aware of how it works (and how the old DAF Variomatic used an ealry version of the CVT gearbox) but as an engineer myself I am only too aware that the first version of any new product ALWAYS contains bugs..I just want to be sure I am do not read stories in 2004 that contain statements like "..early Audi MultiTronic gearboxes where prone to suffer from..". Comments welcome (but please can we keep to the topic and not wander off talking about DAFs 8-).)

Have an A6 2.7 TDI with 33000 miles, and so far just like an ordinary auto box. Have used paddles about twice!
