P0011 is a fault with the Intake Valve Timing valve control and can be caused by a faulty control valve or low engine oil.

P0355 - Crankshaft position sensor.

What sensor did you replace?

What sensor did you swap?

P0335 is the one you should be looking at. since the sensor has been replaced, check the wire connectors and wiring for faults.

If you are throwing a code of P0355 and the wires are good, you need to recheck the sensor. You could have a faulty replacement unit.
