I got ecu recoded to dsg but getting a code from gearbox 21197 gearbox locked

have you had component protection removed from the cars & DSG ecus ?.....because you have added a DSG with its own ECU when the car is turned on (engine off) the security component protection system talks to the other ecus & if it notices something different it blocks it...

if that is the problem then you can get it removed, a friendly dealer of by getting a certain £100 lead vag tool & using a remote hacking service...as people do for the MIB swaps...

The DSG is part of the immobiliser look up circuit....

has the engine & all the other powertrain ECUs been recoded to accept a DSG gearbox??…

to be honest why are you converting a manual golf R to DSG??...there are plenty secondhand on the market....
