I have a 2001 B5 and my check engine light came on. Alex ran the VAG and this came up:

Address 01: Engine
Part No: 8D0 907 551 M
Component: 2.7l V6/5VT G 0002
Coding: 06711
Shop #: WSC 63351

1 Fault Found:
16815 - Warm Up Catalyst; Bank 2: Efficiency Below Threshold
P0431 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent
Readiness: 0000 0000

It looks like from my research that a new sensor is needed. Is this something I can do myself or will I need to take it to a shop?
Anyone have this problem on their cars?

Thanks for your help!

Basically your rear O2 sensors are on their way out.

As E Vader said , sounds like it might be time to replace the O2 sensor. I posted a pic of an O2 sensor socket. Its also handy to have a torch around to heat the base up if its difficult coming out. The R &amp; R is a fairly straight forward procedure.
