Does the rapid click sound similar to this video?
This video shows wear on the gears but that's not the actual problem in that case. The motor is not strong enough to extend the eccentric half gear all the way and will fail calibration.
In the video the guy replaced the gear/ shaft he just needed to replace the motor that comes with the pinion gear. (Not that it hurt to get a fresh reviving gear on the shaft)

Here's an example of a working motor going through the full range of motion.

So the slight wear on the Valvetronic shaft is ok?
I am fine replacing the motor, but seeing any wear on the shaft and having to replace it is worrying me.
My noise is similar to the noise in the video where they have a new motor and shaft installed. It makes a clicking noise right before the shaft fully rotates. Looks like it’s trying to engage and clicks until it fully engages. Thats the only noise. No constant noise. Just TRRRRT for half a second. My noise does not sound like the video where they show the failed motor, where’s its constantly making noise.
Here is a video of my car making the noise. The first clip is when I try to calibrate it. The sound is very faint, I can hear it on my phone with volume up. The second clip is the whining noise which started yesterday, and the 2 clicks after I turn the car off. The 2 clicks after the car is shut off make the same noise as the single click when calibrating.

I’ve also edited the video you posted to highlight the noise that I hear.

So I can get away with just a new motor if the gears on the shaft aren’t totally destroyed?
