I agree as it failed lambda as well it's more likely to be first lambda sensors or possibly air leak. Have a look at values for lambda voltage in measuring blocks with VCDS. They should be changing quite sharply between approximately 0.2-0.7V about once per second. If there is no activity, smaller range or slow to respond then it/they are faulty. But if you keep driving with faulty lambdas for long time that will eventually damage cats.
