My car would on the odd occasion have a slight variation to the idle speed on a cold start until it suddenly became much worse and started throwing codes. Join me as I replace the valvetronic eccentric shaft sensor, the valve cover gasket, spark plugs, and coils.
I use a number of guides to help me through the process here are the one I found the most helpful:

Thanks to fellow KZfaq user Robert Smith for catching and correcting a mistake on my commentary, I installed the valvetronic motor correctly, but mixed up my clockwise and counter clockwise. I added at asterix in the video correcting my mistake. For reference the proper method for removing and installing the valvetronic motor is:
Remove by:
1. hex-key clockwise to resistance
2. unbolt unit completely
3. hex-key counter clockwise to pull-out point
Install by:
4. position cam motor
5. hex-key clockwise to resistance
6. bolt unit completely.
Thanks for writing down the all the steps Robert!
Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments!
