Hi,
I just replaced the valve cover gasket and after I put everything back together I am getting Camshaft position sensor error P0365.
Car starts for few seconds and then it dies. I replaced the exhaust camshaft sensor (Febi), but I am still getting the same error.
Checked the wires and plugs. All looks good.
Any ideas?

Are you sure that you changed the correct one? There should be 2 exhaust cam sensors 1 for cylinders 1-4 and 1 for cylinders 5-8

Or perhaps its the wrong one. Meaning you installed an intake sensor in place of an exhaust

I was thinking that perhaps it was a faulty intake cam sensor instead of an exhaust sensor. what are you using to clear the code?

Hmmm, thats a good system for diagnosing. Does that sensor have the wire harness attached or is it the sensor only with a plug connector? perhaps you pinched the wire harness when reinstalling the valve cover? without physically seeing the car, I'm shooting in the dark here. Perhaps you replaced the wrong sensor. Not to insult your capability, but the exhaust cam is the one closest to the fenders and the intake cam is the one closest to the middle of the engine. I personally have never replaced them. Does the fault description say anything other than exhaust cam sensor bank B?
