Archives don't seem to have definitive answer - I guess it's safe to drive with bad O2 sensors?

Default Pre or post cat O2 sensors?
The post-cat ones I think are only for cat efficiency. Pre-cat ones are more important.

depending on your mileage, you can argue to have them replaced under the 8/80,000 emissions warrantee

Not sure. VAG-COM shows codes for bank 1 and 2 and the sensor heater.

Default Sensors 1 or 2?
Bank 1 sensor 1 (B1S1) and bank 2 sensor 1 (B2S1) are before the cats. B1S2 and B2S2 are after the cats.
