i had exactly the same fault code on my golf on monday, so i ordered a bank 1 oxygen sensor off of VW, i had a good look on the exhaust manifold and the exhaust system and i only have one lamba sensor on my car, just before the cat. I fitted the new sensor today and car is now driving perfect. No more idle and running lumpy issue and my average mpg is now around the 40 mark instead of the 30 :)
