Default Do I need 2 or 4 O2 sensors?

I have a 2.8 30V and I was wondering if the codes that I pulled require me to change ll four or just two of the O2 sensors. I am asuming that since I have a 2.8 there are 4 O2 sensor, but please correct me if I am wrong. The codes where P1198 and P1199. Thanks

Default there are 4 O2 sensors. the codes should tell you which ones are bad.

go to the bentley site for descriptions of the codes<ul><li><a href="http://www.bentleypublishers.com/tech/audi/audi.dtc.table.htm">Codes.</a></li></ul>

Default 1.8T = 2 sensors, 2.8 = 4 sensors (locations inside)

VAG the car and it will give you the location of the failed sensor:

1.8T
B1S1 = sensor in FRONT of the cat
B1S2 = sensor BEHIND the cat

2.8
B1S1 = sensor in FRONT of passenger side cat
B1S2 = sensor BEHIND passenger side cat
B2S1 = sensor in FRONT of driver's side cat
B2S2 = sensor BEHIND driver's side cat

Cheers,
