P176F00 "Clutch 2 closes unintentionally", returns after clearing. Sensor or mechatronic?

Hi all — car's currently with a Skoda independent specialist here in Bristol, and I wanted to sanity-check with the forum while they dig in.

Car: Octavia RS 2.0 TSI Combi (245 PS), MY2022, 7-speed wet DSG (DQ381 / 0GC), 65000 miles. Service history: full Skoda / independent — DSG oil + filter service not done.

What's happened:

• got the alert “ gearbox in emergency mode. No reverse possible”.

• Breakdown technician’s scan showed two codes: P27F500 (selector lever lock, Park position) and P176F00 (Clutch 2 closes unintentionally).

• P176F00 has a VAG TSB: if it's sporadic with a frequency counter of 2 or less, you clear and test drive; if it returns or is static, it's guided fault finding.

• Cleared the codes, drove ~5 min, and P176F00 came straight back with the counter now above 2. So it's persistent, not a one-off.

Questions:

1. Anyone had P176F00 on a DQ381 — root cause and fix? Clutch pressure sensor set, mechatronic, or clutch?

2. Did a DSG oil + filter service ever clear it once the code was logged, or wishful thinking?

3. Anyone managed to get Skoda to cover a DQ381 mechatronic as a goodwill job at ~4 years old?

Thanks.
