Without knowing what your codes were it's gonna be hard to tell exactly what's wrong. I assume this isn't a TDI?
According to your description the problem is more than likely your O2 sensor (oxygen sensor). "Bank 1" tells me it's the one BEFORE the catalytic converter. You have two - so it's the one towards the front of the car.
