Mmmm you have checked that your ECU is correct for the 4x4 Auto box that you have bought? There are three different ECU's that are for the Autobox. I have the same car.

 

You can put a normal autobox in - change the half shaft and a different ECU but the 4x4 is brilliant to drive so why try?

There is a multiplug at the bottom back of the gearbox (large round one) this gets water into the plug part and causes all kinds of stress.

 

The internal ribbon is pretty good - normally the external plug and loom causes issues - sometimes with alot of water the pins pull out.

 

You may not see the ingress as the plug is meant to be sealed - but if super careful you can cut the plastic away and see tell tail signs of water (the green death).

 

Normally its random shifts or stuck in limp mode if water is everywhere.

 

You can, in vag com see the changes and the response from the box in measuring blocks.

 

Of course could be an TCM - mine was :-(
