As yours is a 2008MY you can't just blank the valves off like on earlier models, you have 2/3 options..
Option 1 is to replace the faulty valve with a new one ..
Option 2 just unplug the valve or valves that have failed and plug in a known good working actuator off a new/used valve and strap it to the old valve, fix for now but not good if the MOT rules change and the tester checks the valves.
Option 3 blank and fit emulators and forget about the valves, only problem is as your abroad you would also need a remap interface from Bell Auto's so you could apply the software update needed to configure the emulators to your car.
Option 2 is the cheapest one for you.

Hello,
thank you for the tips.
I think it can't be Option 1. I have removed both valves and cleaned them. Both valves don't stuck.
Maybe an Option 2 can be the problem if a actuator is damaged.
Is there a hint in the error codes which valves shows the error? Its not so easy to remove the valves.
Option3 is no option for me

Ok, error P140A fixed.
Left Side:
The claws of the actuator aren't fit to the valve at the reassembly of the valve.
Removed the valve and the actuator again and fit it correct to the valve. After the assembly of all the error is gone.
But the initial P0405 stays.
I will try to remove the actuator on the right side an check if he moves if i apply +12 -12V.
I have cleaned the valve too so it looks the same as the valve on the left side.
Picture from the left side valve:

EDIT:
I think i have found the problem on the right side. I took a closer look to the actuator part of the valve an see that a ball bearing is missing (dont know where it is gone) . I found one bearing ball in the dirt on the actuator. Ordered a new valve and hope that this will solve the problem.
