It is a “known” fault on these gearboxes across the VW range. You won’t be able to clear that DTC, the switch or the whole mechanism needs to be replaced. And you are looking at somewhere between £500-£1000 to fix it.

My Mrs’ car has thrown the same error message a few weeks ago and it is booked in on Wednesday next week for a scan and a potential fix.

They mention

This is the microswitch module which comprises the steps of charging a molten resin onto a loading surface of a microswitch.

That is a good outcome. Did you buy extended warranty with them?
