I did a bunch of searching recently trying to help someone out, so I came across a bunch of useful info that I though I'd share if anyone else likes free education.
Enjoy!

Housed inside the six-speed direct-shift gearbox (DSG) is a Mechatronics assembly consisting of a control module, valve body and solenoids (see figures 1 and 2). It is the control center that shifts this manual gearbox automatically by turning on and off two separate clutch drums called the K1...

Volkswagen’s Direct-Shift Gearbox Part 3 - Transmission Digest

Although the DSG 02E transmission contains 11 solenoids, they could be placed into three categories: gear actuator, pressure control and TCC. This article covers the first group and part of the second, and next month’s article will cover the rest of the second group and the third.

Volkswagen’s Direct-Shift Gear Box Part 4 - Transmission Digest

Picking up where we left off last month, the remaining three solenoids to cover are two pressure-control solenoids – N215, which operates the K1 clutch, and N216, which operates the K2 clutch – and the N92 multiplexer solenoid (see Figure 1).

Treasure trove of good info! Thanks for sharing that. clever how the multiplex solenoid is used. Interesting how those two safety valve solenoids provide two different limp home failsafe gear modes: gear 2 only or 1 and 3 only. Bummer with pressure senders not being serviced separately-gotta buy whole valve body if psi sender fails.
