Are you in Germany? In the US we call the Lambda probe an Oxygen Sensor. lol
Since you left the downstream sensor hanging in the breeze, the computer thinks the cat converter went bad. Put an O2 sensor bung after the cat and hook the O2 sensor back up, or connect an O2 simulators to the downstream sensor wires, or have the computer software changed to delete the downstream sensors

Well, the oxy...er, I mean the lambda sensor was developed by Bosch, a German company. Just never heard it referred to that before. "Lambda Probe" sounds more like something from a Star Trek episode. Or maybe an instrument a proctologist would use to check for gas leaks. Hmmmmm....exhaust pipe, that one might not be too far off.
