Default ok new CEL problems

i know i need to change the coolent temp sensors, but now i just triggered a CEL and these are the VAG codes. My guess is that the O2 sensors are crapped too.
175784-o2s ccorrection behind catalyst b1 limit reached
175785-o2s ccorrection behind catalyst b2 limit reached
Also does anyone have a copy of the extended emmissions warranty that they gave the 2000 s4's?

TIA

Default after i STFA i found the solution i think...

it's the bad coolant temp sensor that's causing a lean condition that's triping the codes...

make sense????

Default Nope. I don't think a lean or rich condition will set a code for catalyst monitors before 02 sensors

can you tell me the codes in obdII format? I.E. Pxxx

Default Are you sure the codes aren't 17584 and 17585?

These codes can be triggered when you accidentally replace the rear O2 sensor's in the wrong position, ie left sensor on right side.

Default Have you recently replaced the rear O2 sensors, or put in new downpipes?

It's easy to get the left and right sensors mixed up.

Yes! Maybe they put your secondary 02 sensors in reversed.

Default You can't as far as I know.

Switch them and see if it goes away.
