Default "System too lean" help

Background: two weeks ago my A6 (2003 2.7t) started over heating only when at a standstill (like in traffic for more than a few minutes. Air conditioner runs cold when the car is moving, but changes to warm air when I get to a red light and stop for a while.

Now: check engine light is on showing the following:

System too Lean (Bank 1)

System too Lean (Bank 2)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Are the codes and the overheating connected?

thanks
Joe

For overheating and air condition problem, check engine and condenser cooling fans.

Post a complete Auto-Scan please, just the text doesn't really help.
