Default Pulled fault codes (related to 2 posts down)

got these two codes:

2142 (Blink Fault Code), VAG1551/2 Fault Code Number 00524 Knock sensor #1 Open or short circuit, Defective sensor Check sensor and wiring Symptom: Timing retarded, High fuel consumption, power loss, Boost pressure not attained

2342 (Blink Fault Code), VAG1551/2 Fault Code Number 00523 Oxygen Sensor Sensor Wiring or Sensor defective Symptom: Emissions not within specifications

I have 2 questions. First, which sensor (front or back) is #1? Second, could they be interrelated, i.e. one is causing the other? Or are both independent, and they both need to be replaced? If I were to replace the knock sensor, should I do the other one at the same time, or is it ok to do them seperate?
