So I pulled my check engine light codes and got a P0325= Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 or Single Sensor) and a P0400= EGR Valve. I plan on replacing the EGR Valve, soon. What I need to know is it safe to still drive the car with these codes happening? I've checked all the vacuum lines and have no leaks. I am driving about 150 miles for the Holidays and don't want to destroy my fairly new engine and brand new turbo. Thanks for any help.

Don't know about the knock sensor code, but I drove my old car around for 2 years with an EGR code on and nothing happened. Anything EGR related isn't a big problem, unless you just hate having a bit more pollution come from your car.
