Oh.....I'd say it is a design flaw.....I'm just concerned that any jerkiness in the drive train could, over time, do some damage?

How many miles have you guys done, i have not noticed anything on my 150ps yet but i have not done 200 miles yet
I've now done just over 300 miles in my 150 dsg kombi and it's run the fan about three times, as described above usually after a short journey (10 mins) I also noticed that the stop/start disabled symbol came on on the mfd. It came on last night while taking my daughter to gymnastics after about 5minutes so after I dropped her off I took the very long way home to see what happened and after about another 15-20 minutes of 'normal' driving (not crawling traffic) it cleared itself and the stop/start function became active again...weird!!
Touch wood ...all seems fine so far, hope it stays that way.
i will be paying attention to its every sound and vibe dont worry !!
I know what you're saying mate.......when mine first did, I actually thought......."what was that.......have I just gone over an uneven road surface"? But then, at that point, I hadn't been warned that this might happen so didn't know what I was looking for. I think I highlighted it within about a fortnight of taking delivery.......mine had about 15 miles on it when I picked it up.
Just spoken to the dealership, they are already aware of this, it sounds like overenthusiastic dpf regen...He said they delivered a new van to a customer the other night who only lived 5 miles from the dealership so the van had done less than 15 miles, he said he parked it on the customers drive and the fan was going like crazy...
Oh yeah forgot to mention that the avg. fuel consumption on the mfd seems to take a dive whilst the fan is running I noticed it drop from avg.35mpg to about 20mpg with no change in road conditions or my driving style, then as soon as the fan went off it climbed back up again and the disabled s/s symbol disappeared... I've not experienced any juddering though...

I'm having the same problems / symptoms, Vw t6 Highline 102, only 3 weeks old and just over 500 miles. The engine cut out while slowing down between gears a couple of days ago.
I also held my foot down on the throttle after starting and running for a few minutes and the engine was running lumpy like a miss fire (the revs were only around 3000rpm as that's the max they will let you rev while stood still), i am worried as i have 2 more Highlines coming over the next couple of months, cannot afford to have poor reliability.

Ok so I have been keeping an eye on for this bloody Regen lark! and it seems a coincidence but my 150dsg is doing it every 100 miles! +/- 2 miles, the motor sounds like an old tractor! rumbling and rattling like the bottom end is going! My neighbours new Audi Q5 does the same and sounds awful.. The neighbour with his Peugeot van is now TTP! his motor sounds sweet as...
Same happening on my 150ps
Fan cuts in on short journeys.
Done 3.5k miles now.
There has also been a slight heet and a bit of a smell noticeable.
Not been a problem on long journeys as been to Sheffield and back 3 times in the last month, only seems to happen when found short journeys. Temperature gauge always at 90 degrees.
Anyone think I should book it on with VW?

That appears to be normal behaviour.
