I had similar symptoms with my H1. Poor performance, check engine light... It ended up being the knock sensor. Did you check the sensor's wiring for any damage or corrosion? That can sometimes trigger the issue.

Thanks for the tip! How exactly did you check the wiring? I'm not very experienced with auto repair.

Given your lack of experience, and considering the potential for misdiagnosis, I would recommend a visit to a workshop. A professional diagnosis can prevent further damage and ensure proper repair.

Thanks. I took it to the shop; you were right. Turns out the knock sensor cable was faulty. 95€ later, all is well!
