Early Bentley Continental (GT/GTC/Flying Spur) issues and how to diagnose them

[@dexfriday5524]

Awesome video! Thank you for a little glimpse on how the vacuum system works on a 200k car.

Excellent video. I'm here because of my '05 CGT and a lot of the faults you mentioned I'm kinda having. There's some that don't even throw codes, but you kinda figure them out. Like mine is not charging my main big battery. It is on a tender so I rejuice it, and drive the car, and come back to find voltage has dropped on it. I think the battery control module is responsible for charging it and needs replacing as all fuses check out and I can hear that switchover relay clicking and clacking when I turn the ignition on. I guess that's the price you pay.

I think with a little testing, it could be solved in no time.

Always interesting content Russ. I always learn something.

Knowledge is power, not sure what power this video gives you, but, there ya go!

Wow! Good news for me! The only thing holding me off from buying a Bentley GT is a good independent British shop near me (im in Punta Gorda). I also have a 2016 L405 and a 1995 Range Rover Classic that sometimes need attention.

[@EuropeanAutoCraftStudios]

I have a 2003 HSE I'm going to rebuild for my daughter. We can service the 95 as well.

@@EuropeanAutoCraftStudios Thanks. I had an 05 L3RR for 10 years, great car.

Great explanation

[@mathiaseklof5089]

Great video! Super knowledgeable. I have a Touareg W12 and it's hard to find videos on that, so I tend to watch Bentley/Audi videos instead when it comes to W12 stuff.

[@ThomasClaypool]

Curious if I could direct message you a few questions or chat about your experience with the W12 Touareg

[@mathiaseklof5089]

@@ThomasClaypool Absolutely :) Not sure I'll be able to answer but happy to discuss.

I have been trying to find out if there is any air problems when you drain and fill with antifreeze and what type you use ?

Prairies for you and everyone on the Gulf cost Be well

[@ryanwhite7969]

Dam thats a lot of confusion. Yr amazing at this.

[@drideikr5919]

Nice video, I have a 2008 Bentley gt, I love it, where are you located

[@jorgeortega911]

We have an 06 Bently continental sling spur. Changed compressor, oriface tube and dryer. Now the compressor cuts off when you accelerate. Any ideas where to look?

[@klam77]

Is this related to the current Continental Brake ReCALL?

[@NSt-ue4wy]

Great video! Are all early Continentals affected by the problem with the vacuum lines Is there a production year in which this problem was solved with the vacum lines ? best regards from 🇨🇭

[@EuropeanAutoCraftStudios]

All of the w12 cars up to 2008 I believe are affected. 2004 and 2005 the engine comes out for this repair.

[@makoshark40]

Wait so you dont need to take the engine out for 2003? Also whats the price of these tubes and is there an online upgrade that fixes this problem or atleast makes it take longer to fail again?

[@waynezhou6530]

@@makoshark40they make metal/aluminum lines but that would require engine out to install, so I’ve read on forums

[@glenn65]

👏👍🙏 R E S P E C T !

[@cav4290]

Does this apply to the 2012-2018 models?

[@zenhookah9296]

was thinking the same thing

[@NiltonFernandez-f4b]

Good morning I got 2008 Bentley continental I got code p0571 and the car goes in limp mode I replace the switch but still the same any help please

[@miceinoz1181]

I am in Australia. Who do you get your Bentley parts from over there? I am changing the front lower arm bushes right now which will come from Europe, so interested to know who you get these bits from (FCP Euro?). I do not want cheap chinese knockoffs as I have just suffered from this issue already.

[@waynezhou6530]

I’ve seen on several occasions that from MY08 onwards the vacuum line change didn’t require engine out, is that accurate?

[@427motorsportllc3]

07 on...yes, that's correct
