Default Here's a few

I think in the procedure below, these are all post cat O2 sensors....in the states we all got four, two before and two after the cat.

I believe the pre cat 02 sensors are on the header pipe that comes down from the block, not shown.

Temperature switch? You mean to pre heat them? I imagine it just blasts it with current for a pre determined time, but not sure.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/auto_transmission/transealreplacement.html">See post cat pictures here</a></li></ul>

Default Thanks Paul

it is the engine coolant temp sender switch that apparently tells the ecu that the engine is warm.
The code says sporadic fault and the o2 sensors are also throwing up faults.
Can these be related?
Right bank probe says sporadic fault and left said electical curcuit fault[may be loose wire?]

I don't know what year you have, but if you have a faulty coolant temperature detector, I would replace it first.

You would need to post the exact codes.
