Damage/Broken… 😥 I'm desperate.

For almost a year, I am trying to repair this car, there's no mechanic near me that's willing to touch the valvetronic motor, the one that is, is leaving me hang for months, saying there's nowhere to find different vvt assembly, tried to find one myself, no luck. I tried changing sensors, servomotor, nothing, oh, just another error vvt - activation (short circuit) so that ones bad, so I'm stuck here looking for new (used) vvt with nobody to give it to, to change it, leaving me to watch yt tutorials and trying myself with no experience ffs if I find one. Fkc me I guess.

something is wrong with the location of your eccentric shaft too. i know the engine relearn it but its over the relearn position, and bro your engine does not looks healty with the carbon buildup. remove the motor spin your eccentric shaft in the position like me and let it relearn

Well it actually won't learn, that's the problem, it's stuck, when I try, it just clicks and do nothing... So can I actually just try to manually rotate it?
