Well since you've already scanned the car, and it's given you a code for the knock sensor, replace the knock sensor! They are notorious for being broken relatively easily.

okay i will change it. so that code is for a bad knock sensor? i just thought its telling me that my engine is knocking ? if the engine is knocking does it put out another code? thanks for the reply

Generally, if you have a knock, it will give you a misfire code (from my experience), something specific. They are separate codes. P0325 in particular points to a faulty knock sensor. Replace that, and you should be good to go! And no problem!
