Probably an issue with the 'mechatronic' unit that controls the gear changes. You will need to get someone to read the fault codes and, if it is that unit, have it repaired by a VAG specialist.

Sounds like another Dsg gearbox failure. Unlikely to be a cheap fix . I would try and find a local specialist that can handle these transmissions.

Get it fixed for the lowest cost possible and move it on. This was the advice to a friend’s brother when his DSG failed. Had a cheap fix, but foolishly kept the car. A few weeks later it had a very expensive failure.
