If you decide to replace it you change both solenoids. Changing the valves might solve your problem (N215 / N216). Only buy genuine Borg Warner no Chinese or other brands.
I’d be trying this first personally… before changing the whole mechatronics unit for another… it’s my understanding that the mechatronics unit needs to come from same make and model of car otherwise it will require coding. Before buying any parts remove and check your mechatronics board physically for any burn marks or obvious damage…because your issue might be electrical…then you will need to change the whole mechatronics unit.
When you call a gearbox specialist or garage they don’t want you coming back complaining if they pick the wrong issue. So as a precaution they will want you to replace the mechatronics board & clutch packs together.
You don’t need to change your clutch packs or flywheel unless you have clutch slip or chattering from the flywheel your issue is the mechatronics.
This is the genuine solenoid:

You will need two solenoids… they unscrew from the board very easy. Then you will need new DSG fluid, filter, belly pan gasket, DSG sump o-ring, perform adaptations reset via VAGCOM software and checking the DSG fluid is at correct level.
Here is an handy website to check also for common 6 speed DSG issues. You could also email the guy on the webpage with your fault code… he will point you to the issue possibly better than me.
