Bad camshaft sensor ? or should i save up for a new engine ?

[Snorrow]

okay where do i start ?

sometime when i start the car the engine will rattle for a few seconds and then calm down (sounds like a timing chain rattle but louder) and also sometimes while driving or when i start the car the engine will rattle and knock like crazy and ill get the flashing check engine light with the codes P0340 and P0344 and i will only have to turn off the car and start it again , it will start and run like nothing happend , i took it to a mechanic today and he told me that sensor was a bit loose so im hoping that thats the only thing going on.
should i just go ahead and order a new camshaft sensor ? or just wait and see (the car is not under warranty)

watch the full video for the startup noise too..


first post ever so go easy and help please

Why is the car not under warranty? Tell us the history of the car, and put in your sig line everything that has been done to it, any/all mods.

We can't help if we have no information to go on.

I imported the car from the us to my country and it was a salvage title due to an accident..

Also, just replace the camshaft sensor. It's cheap and easy, I think.

And what do those two codes read as?

Test the circuit, and replace the sensor. Don't drive the car until it's fixed.

i will but it will take 2-3 weeks to arrive and also my question is .. is it normal that it went bad on a 2018 car with 30k miles and do you guys think that this is actually the problem ?
