04 230k engine problem
My friend has a 2004 230k. He came over with a check engine light code and the code was (P325) knock sensor. Anyone ever have this problem? The only thing I have heard go wrong on the M271 is the Timing chain.

Usually only transmission issues would trigger limp mode,... you have to be more descriptive,... mileage? How exactly is the car under-performing,...

LOL thanks for the response. Well its a friends car and he just brought it by so I could take a quick look at it. It was indicating bank 1. The car is a 2004 C230k 6MT with 148k miles. He said at about 3k rpm the car feels very sluggish.

If all fluids (including transmission & engine oil) are at proper level and services are done regularly,.... then tell your friend to do a ECU (throttle-adaptive transmission) reset.
