Does any one know the procedure for the servo motor removal and install. I removed the left side and it popped off. I heard that in some cases the travel needs to be reset. All I am doing is changing the VC and timing cover gaskets

You need to take off the servomotors - you will have to install a new servomotor gasket (comes with the VCG kit), and a new O-ring (comes under the servomotor). Torque specs for the ISA screws is 6Nm, and they break easy. Hopefully you had them marked L/R, and also the position (the top has the electrical connector, and the electrical wire is only so long - goes in one way).
Once the job (VCG) is done, DON"T turn the engine on. You need to adjust the servotronics - you can do it 2 ways:
  1. with software
  2. manually
Assuming you don't have the software (again, once the job is done, and you are ready to drive), insert the key in the running position (pos II), but DON"T start the car. Wait about 1.5 - 2 minutes. If you keep the hood open, after a while you will hear the servo motors whirring and resetting in the correct position. Then you can turn the engine on.

What do you mean by the statement below. Screws from servo motors were not marked, I did not disassemble right side as yet, so I will reinstall left side motor similar to right side where connector is facing intake manifold

ISA screws is 6Nm, and they break easy. Hopefully you had them marked L/R, and also the position (the top has the electrical connector, and the electrical wire is only so long - goes in one way).

Wrote quickly:
mark Left & Right servotronics, not screws...

I just purchased new spark plug tubes Febi, they came with metal sleeves, the original ones removed did not have sleeves, should I remove the metal sleeves before installation

Removed right VC and disconnect Breather hose from VC to throttle body and saw this, partially clogged.

Thoughts

Just clean it as much as you can. You can't access the inside of the intake manifold. Maybe if you remove the intake manifold, and dismantle it (if you can & know how to).

X5 4.8is N62 valve cover removal

Completed VCG and front timing cover gaskets replacement. In addition I replaced all plugs with NGK Iridium, new Bosch coils. Turn key to allow servo motors to reset. Start X5 and it idles very rough and sounds like it is missing, check engine light is flashing. I can't connect with Peake. ( could not before VCG, shows E A6 11- not sure).

I am thinking the servo motors are not set correctly, any advise

Thanks

Any update on this? What did you find? I'm about to tackle VCG and noting down the gotchas so I don't make the same error. Thanks!
