I've been working for Bentley for 13 years and it pains me to see you having all these issues with your car. I'm screaming at KZbin while I'm watching saying most of these issues you are having with the Bentley are simply caused by dead or low batteries. I've seen it 100 times over the years and everybody says the same thing... "my batteries are fine". I'm going to guess you have some aftermarket Interstate or Deka batteries installed or some other low end battery and haven't kept it on a battery maintainer when not driving it. Or maybe there is a draw on the batteries but either way the batteries are definitely the main issue. When the main battery is low you need to turn the key left then right (as you were doing in the video) to utilize the secondary battery to start the car. This is more or less an emergency start feature to get you home when the main battery is dead. The more you do the left right start the more you wear down that secondary battery because it's not intended to be used 100% of the time. When the main battery is low you will get all sort of errors such as lights on the dash (traction control etc..), front end drops down, windows don't go up all the way, etc. I know you say the valve was the issue with the suspension and it probably is part of the problem but when the battery is low the front will also drop down. All I'm trying to say is that most of your issues are because of the low batteries is not a full diagnosis. I do enjoy your videos so keep up the good work. If I can help you in any way let me know and I I'll do my best. The Bentley is a beautiful car but like you said there is a learning curve. Best of luck bro I hope this one works out for ya

Thanks for making this video. Now I see some of the quirks of this car. I thought you had a lemon or something? How can a Bentley be that bad? But I’m glad that a professional Bentley mechanic explained that a low battery is the cause of most of the problems with your car. When I saw you struggling with the car I was thinking don’t you have an owner’s manual or a shop book for this Bentley? Anyways I wouldn’t buy your Bentley after you let your dog into it. lol. And I honestly think that you didn’t mind because you were planning to sell this Bentley after your two weeks experimentation with it- am I correct?

Great video! I would definitely not daily a Bentley because of the cost. Although it is a very cool car. That issue with the wiper being to slow or to fast... I had to drive a older Volkswagen Transporter for work. I found out that when you set the wiper stick to interval mode, let the wipers go one time, put the stick back for the amount of seconds you want the interval to be and set the stick back to interval, the wipers will wipe every 6 seconds or 10 seconds or whatever you want it to be. Don't know if the Bentley has this feature..

You have a battery issue. There is two batteries in the back. Always best to replace them in pairs. The key getting locked in the ignition and everything dead is caused by a loss of battery power. Turning the key to the left switches from using the starting battery to using the resident battery to start it. With the starter battery good you do not have to turn the key left before starting it. That is also the cause of your windows dropping, every time it loses the battery power it loses the window position memory and you have to re synch them. The battery is likely the cause of most of your quirks. Also, you may have a steering wheel heater, it's a little round dot button on the side of the steering wheel switches.

If you’re having to turn the key to the left before it starts you have a bad battery. What that does is switch the starter battery from right to left. The dash lights and windows confirm this. You shouldn’t have to wait to put the car in gear. Replace your batteries. You also do have a heated steering wheel. Can see the small black button on the left side of the steering wheel controls.

It’s a typical safety feature that happens when the battery dies or when you disconnect the battery so the frameless window doesn’t shatter.

Every VW Audi since the seventies has used the direction stalk as the parking light. Surprised that threw you. Also, +1 for batteries throwing codes everywhere. Not sure I agree that you can’t be seen in a Bentley, or other exotic by clients. I’ve had customers suggest that I’m not enjoying success, when I turn up in a cheap/average vehicle. Also, in a world full of people leasing and running things they could never actually afford to purchase outright (like we used to back in the days), does anyone (who’s opinion actually matters), give a hoot? If we think a Tennant pays rent late because of the car we drive, we are deluding ourselves, plus, if a car dealer/shop owner, ie. a car guy, can’t drive a top of the line car for fear a customer will think he’s ripping them off, then who needs that person as a customer anyway? They’re bound to be the type who don’t pay their bills, or quibble to the point you want to just give up and go fish instead.

1) the heated steering wheel buttons are on the back of the steering wheel controls. One on left side one on right. One side turns on wheel heat the other is to turn those wheel control lights on and off. (Little round buttons) 2) car needs two new batteries as everyone else has mentioned. 3) those dash lights come on when you unlock the car. (Tach-Speedo) 4) in snow raise the suspension with the controls on the console. 5) reset the window pinch protection and you won’t have the gap anymore. 6) You can program functions for the key in the main screen, such as lighting and climate functions. So you that full blast fan speed might be able to be adjusted in there. 7) tire pressures on that vehicle are super high something like 48psi It will affect your fuel mileage greatly if it’s under inflated.

Yes someone who owns a dealership can definitely own and daily drive a Bentley or any other endless money pit. Remember when the bumper cracked/fell off or you had to scan for error codes etc? An average person doesn't have such tools to diagnose and fix their own vehicle so that bumper fix would've cost an arm and leg for an average driver who owns a Camry/Sonata/Accord. Normal people want vehicles they start and drive without issues or scary sounds daily.

The price of gas has little/nothing to do with the current administration. When the price of oil goes up, the price of gas goes up - everywhere. In Ontario, Canada we're paying about CDN$1.75/L which is about US$5.30/gal. High gas prices are not just an American problem, hence not the fault of your current administration. While US government policy can have a small impact on oil/gas prices, there are many more international forces and of course oil company profits keeping gas prices high. ✌

After 2 weeks a clip if a Bentley makes a good daily driver seems to soon I think. Maybe I should do one 1 have my 2008 since 1 year and put 10000 Miles on it and to answer the question ,YES it makes a good daily driver after fixing some issues in the first 3 weeks I had the car and no issues I'm sorry but it seems your car is just not that great also I agree with other posters that a lot of problems you had comes from the batteries ,my gas mileage is between 12 to 16 miles a gallon for the love of god fill your tank up and drive more than 10 miles a day You don't have cup holders you have a cup, holder there is no room for a second cup and the position is annoying agreed When you park your car and the wheels are not straight the left or right parking light will lite up

I've never heard someone refer to oil executives, who are earning record profits, as "this administration" before. Weird. And there is nothing less sympathy inducing than listening to a dude driving a twin turbo v12 complain about gas prices... Although listening to someone complain about the dash lights on their 2005 VW/Audi is a close second. 🤣

The cup holder issue comes because European cars are made for actual cups, not buckets. Americans always have buckets of liquids, the cup should fit in the cup holder and the arm rest come down on top of it to keep it safe from spilling. You've got a cup on the bottom and a bucket on top, then complain because it doesn't fit!! 🤣

Kinda reminds me of the 06 Maserati gransport I had. As much as I loved the car the little issues drove me insane! I spent three years enjoying the car but was constantly fixing something small. Maybe a few months would go by smooth but it was always something. I’m sure Jlack is probably right and most of it is battery related. Life shouldn’t have to be so frustrating though. When the power door locks went out I had enough and sold it. I started using my 08 jag Xj as my Sunday car and though it doesn’t quite fill the hole in my heart for horsepower it never lets me down either.

4.599 usd agallon.... The gas has not been that cheap in Norway since 2008 - 2009. And that was due to the he 2008 Financial Crisis. Before that we need to go to before year 2000. We hit a ll time high in 2022 with a 9,64 usd pr gallon. Today it varies between 7-8 usd a gallon. Want to guess how much of the 9,64 usd is tax? 4,97usd...... Welcome to Norway

The car should not drop that much unless it has been sitting for a week or so. If it is doing that in one day you have a leak in the air ride system. I know because we work with these all the time. Same thing happens on the S550's and range rovers

Not sure what you do, but if you’re a plumber or electrician or landscaper, stockbroker, dentist, or pretty much anything else, your clients can compare what you charge to what other people in the same industry charge. If it’s competitive you’re obviously not overcharging. No matter what you do I’d rather deal with someone who is successful at what they do than someone who is constantly broke from a gambling issue, drug problems, not being a good business person etc. success isn’t something to be embarrassed about. It’s none of anyones business how you make money - stock market, crypto, inheritance, investment properties, lottery, married well or just really good at what you do. It is funny though because I have a lot of people when I’m out who are more impressed with my F250 platinum (which was a $92,000 truck new) than they are with the Bentley or other exotics I’ve had. One thing people always seem to love is a G-wagen.
