As a former aircraft tech, and usually doing my own car maintenance, it’s reassuring to see your thoroughness. Correct torquing, good husbandry, clear instruction, I’m here because I’m considering a Bentley in the future. Thank you.

[@carlpacifico1970]

Like the detail, but very impressed with your addressing the "little" things that are generally over looked by less concerned "professionals". Great video and editing.

[@davidcanterbury9944]

I am actually going to call the phone number on his shirt and tell him what a excellent job he is doing with these videos.

[@lobodomesticado9193]

Thank you very much for this video! Very detailed and informative. I'll see you in Florida in a couple years! JCGJR, Bx, NY

[@gordonm6128]

Yeah nice video but after seeing this, there is absolutely no way in hell I’d ever attempt anything like this. I’d forget to plug a few sensors in guaranteed!

[@holybullholybull1320]

Not only are you an extremely knowledgeable young man but you are very articulate and have therefore created a professional video detailing this nightmarish task. Your family should all be very proud of you. May God bless you and keep you as always.

[@billyyoder8171]

Thank you Mario. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week to you and your family.

[@bentleyboyracer3817]

Hey. Thank you very much for putting this Video online. it was extremely helpful with first step and pointing to potential problem avoiding areas. Followed your guide and total success. Please note that you do not have to remove vacuum lines in order to change 2 front rows on plugs and replace gasket. 3h of labour and all done safe way. Many thanks and look forward for future videos!!!

[@BikerBloke600]

Awesome job, very well done. Great to see someone with diligence and a good work ethic. Keep up the good work. Mick. Northern Ireland 👍👏🍻

[@Mistadoblinas]

Beautiful, thank you very much

[@markscars1069]

This is why I like KZbin. Contemplating one of these as a weekender, so this is handy content, cheers.

[@sjw811]

Same here, Did you pick it up?

[@AlexanderJScheu]

Super Mario; Thank's,.. Great, like 'Tutorial.. as I looked - learning - it 'Help's saving *Money.. Wishing.. You .. *Simply the *Best, Greetings from Germany.

[@frankm7793]

I have to say you are very good guy perfect in everything you have done I`m impressed I wish you all the pest in the future thanks for the video😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@marcmckenna9187]

I noticed that one person commented that he had gotten a DTC P0301 after changing plugs. I happen to own a 2005. It has always been serviced by the dealer. There was a "quiet" recall and the AD replaced all 12 ignitors,and the fuel filter under a factory recall. FYI to any fellow car people who suffer from the beautiful exotic car virus. .

[@TomTom-xh6cn]

wow! what a nightmare job omg

[@markthwaites1439]

.. yes great Mario now then oxygen sensors on the same engine? my mechanic has changed left side and back of right side but says we need to lift engine for manifold sensor? CAN WE GET TO IT BY TAKING OFF RIGHT FRONT MUDGUARD? Regards mark.

[@ricardoanguloavila41]

Hi there! Looking in your videos is such a great help... Question: Where is your video on the replacement of Cooling Sensor P0507 for Flaying Spur 2007? Thank you for show us your knowledge.

[@borinpich7420]

Hello, My W12 Bentley is having random misfiring just on bank 1. I’ve notice that the passenger side air filter cover was not installed from the last service and was filtering dirty air. Could the misfiring cause due to the cover not being installed? Is this a sensor before the air filter that communicate with the map sensor? Code P0300 301 302 304 305 306 Any response would be appreciated...

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

It can cause that misfire, but you're mentioning having misfires on both banks, but having a loose air filter housing on only one bank. So you'll have to look at other data pids to see if something else is causing these random misfires

[@borinpich7420]

Super Mario Diagnostics 1 bank only... Cylinder 1-6 That’s the same bank with the air filter cover not installed

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Oh, my mistake LOL yes that can definitely cause your misfires

[@borinpich7420]

[@peteresposito3000]

I've been maintaining our 2007 GTC for about 5-6 years now and wish I had found you a lot earlier. I've had what I consider to be success but after watching this I'm wondering just how many things I could have done better. THANKS!!!

[@physicalfitnesswoerden]

Just Great. Enjoyed watching your skills. Thanks for sharing !

[@Lamar-zt1vf]

I have a 2010, considered doing the plug replacement myself, but I'll take your advise and let a professional do it! Very informative video. Thanks for sharing....

[@trust_plumbing]

Great Video Mario, thanks for sharing. I know you don't really need a different tool but Bull Nose pliers would be much easier for those two clips up top. Cheap as chips too. Thanks again

[@enriquesolares9807]

Hi Mario my name is Enrique I just bought 2008 GTC Bentley and then try to find someone like you what a good knowledge thank you for the video I got a phone number for the T-shirt you was wearing you probably going to hear from me thank you again and God bless you

[@adrianjakeman9035]

Great video and it supports my thinking as to why you get main dealer or independent specialist to maintain your Bentley. If you can't afford to pay then you really can't afford to own one because remember any sales person will get you finance to buy one but it's what comes after that's important. Also maintaining one yourself with no proven stamps or invoices will affect resale value so your savings actually become losses. Still if I win the lotto one will be on my shopping list, great cars...

[@shaazy]

At 11:33, the hose you're unsticking, do you know where it goes? I found mine to be dangling and can't see exactly where to plug it.

[@guyanesegamer1693]

Not so bad same process as taking off the n73/n74 bmw v12 which is also used in rolls Royce nice tips on w12 can’t wait to buy one salvage soon

[@OfficialArcDuke]

Great video! Not particularly difficult to do on such an engine. Just a lot to take off to gain access. This is a perfect example of: "A quick job won't be a good job and a good job will never be a quick job". 5-star service! and video!

[@davidsinclair6425]

Thanks, in this hack or quick fix world it good to a professional who both knows the right way and cares to do it

[@DavidJamie64]

Nice to see the job done correct well done

[@Jason-Jason]

thank you so much for making this video!

[@DJdavefromlondon]

Very good. The mass airflow sensor, push in and pull back on tab. I can't really see you do this, your hand was in the way or it was too dark. Could you explain this in another video

[@ryanwhite7969]

Man I wished u were near. Yr friggin good. Thank u. Now I see why its so expensive to change the plugs out. Wow.

[@shaazy]

Great vid! That hose at 11:36, where does it go? What does it do? I can't for the life of me figure it out from up top, it's come loose on the other end. I have rough idle. :(

[@miceinoz1181]

I do a number of CV axle boot replacements, many have this type of clamp as in the ones at the back of the intake you used you side cutters on. They do the job for me and are pretty cheap to buy.

[@emerson7013]

Where do you get your bill hours time and what software do you use for Bentley for repair? And what is the bill hours on that spark plug job?

[@PorscheTech]

Cool vid bud. Those plugs are pretty buried.

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Great to have you Ryan! Thanks for taking the time to watch!

[@ryanjade2836]

Great video. Very thorough and informative. You earned a subscriber.

[@davidcanterbury9944]

I watch alot of videos as a ASE certified master tech, I am not a factory trained tech, I received most of my certifications working at direct repair body shop doing frame work, I framed cars for one company for 5 years straight everyday and worked at a shop where you had the choice if you were trained you could frame your own jobs or have one of 3 full time frame guys do it, and of course I did my own and loved it made it much easier during the reassembly process, but my point is this guy has made one of the best and precise videos I've ever seen. Two thumbs up brother keep up the quality videos.

[@davidcanterbury9944]

I take back everything I said after seeing you use cutters to reinstall those clamps BAHAHA JUST KIDDING, I myself know exactly where you are coming from using some tools for different things that they are not really designed for but work excellent because of all the experience you have, you are one heck of a mechanic I wish I knew everything you know when I was your age, ignore the know-it-all corrector crybabies, don't even waste your time replying and again keep making these awesome videos.

[@cllistings5914]

When you remove all of these sensors and hoses aren’t you going to throw codes? How does a DIY’r clearvthe codes

[@MichaelWilliams-bj9wh]

Thank you, you are very patient. Old school forney tx. 😮

[@MitchGrooms]

Great video, you should charge people to watch this

[@Khans1199]

Any torque wrench recommendations? 🙌

[@JAG312]

You are using NGK PZFR6Q-11. NGK recommend PZFR6J-11. What is the difference?

[@JAG312]

I contacted NGK with this question. Here is their response. "Thank you for your inquiry. PZFR6Q-11 and PZFR6J-11 are identical plugs. PZFR6Q-11 are not available in the US market. They are only available in Europe. In US/ North America, we offer PZFR6J-11." So, no difference, but does Bentley charge more for the NGK plugs in a Bentley box?

[@scottleyva8656]

We do have a Bentley. Now I see why they charge so much for maintenance.

[@mala4076]

Good to se that you are careful with the sparkplugs.Great video as always.

[@imw4956]

Absolutely love the information and attention to detail a true pro!

[@charlesstevenson5894]

Great video. Soooo much preparatory work before pulling the plugs. Rather you than me!

[@AlexanderJScheu]

.... the Engineers have to have -Learn..to.. *Repair.. = would - relly Construct - *More.. Practicable..

[@Dg-zj6jo]

how many main dealers take this care i bet not many

[@forku1232]

Just did this job on my 2008 Flying Spur after watching your video three times. I'm very grateful for your excellent video. Would love to see front and rear brake pad replacement video.

[@mrsnuff8252]

hay im thinking of doing it myself was it just like the video ?

[@volt101x]

This video is definitely going in my saved favorites its going to save me lots of money

[@MarvinxJavier]

With this engine so big, they are engineered to fit, not engineered to work with.

[@shallahsmith9360]

not many videos on the Bentley gt this is a great start ...thanx bro

[@wluvtv]

Good job 👏 👍 very detailed especially with a car like that one...you're very articulate and touch on the little things that matter...I've subscribed 😉 I've been looking for a video on changing the intercooler on a Bentley...none... so I guess that would be me soon...excellent video.

[@brianrichards2998]

Great job mate thanks Brian Australia

[@Repomex01]

Thanks bro! Much help...

[@peteresposito3000]

Thank you for a great lesson! Was able to change the plugs on my 2007 GTC without any significant problems. Would not have even thought aboutt it without your KZbin!!!

[@robpayne3983]

Great video. I've just bought an 09 GT speed and appreciate the work involved changing spark plugs.. and the invoice I'm gonna get. Lol

[@nigelandpaulamarsha]

Thank you so much. I have just replaced the spark plugs on my 2008 Flying Spur. Your video tutorial made a complicated job a breeze for a DIY guy like me. Keep up the good work. Nigel (Estepona, Spain).

[@fastlonnie1]

Me personally I would have replaced the coils also, but that's just me, also this guy is very professional and informative

[@MrVictoryfilms]

Great job and very informative. You make it look straight forward. I appreciate the part numbers and torque specs. I'm now a subscriber.

[@humanresource9659]

👍👍👍 p.s, first class vehicles deserve first class treatment, buy the right tools.

[@mars911red]

Great Video and very, very thorough. You articulated everything very well and did a great job of explaining why to do or not do some things (Like don't touch them with your hands) I appreciate your showing the part numbers as a confirmation on the ones I had listed for my 2005 Contiental GT. I am going to change my own, since this is going to be a project car for me, but I could pay someone to do it, but where would the fun be in that.

[@scottleyva8656]

OMG! That's a lot of pieces.

[@markoliver560]

To the guy that says why would you need part numbers. obviously you have no skills.some of us actually have the skills to do it, even though we have the money to pay for somebody else to do it for us....little personal satisfaction. Great video on how to change spark plugs on an 08 thanks

[@markandjenn3504]

This video is extremely well done! I own a 2012 Continental GT and wanted to do this myself. I watched the video 2 times and then dove in. It turned out perfectly. Just to give reference to what this would run, the independent shop that I use to do service work on my car wanted close to $900 just for the labor. A dealership would have been way more. Thank you for putting content with this quality of information and clarity out for us to use.

[@davidor2928]

I just wish you did this awesome video a few months earlier...took me 8 long hours to do this very same job, trying to figure out what should remove and how to reach the spark plugs. Luckily for me i just drive about 2000 km per year on this one, so, next spark plugs change would be on my retirement age..... thanks Mr , your job is real delicate. So bad bad I live so far away to bring you my cars for maintenance. Keep up with the good work.

[@arundevacharya]

Awesome video 👍👍👍😍

[@wholelottamiata6976]

This is a great video. Only thing I’d do different is put a small amount of anti seize on the plug threads and intake manifold bolts. But that’s just my opinion.

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

That changes the torque and no manufacturer recommends it

[@wholelottamiata6976]

@@SuperMarioDiagnostics I’m aware it changes torque. But when you strip enough threads out of aluminum components from galvanic corrosion you start to see its benefits. Anti seize manufacturers give a value or instructions on how to calculate a torque adjustment for their product. So you still have a properly torqued fastener, and you’ve extended the lifespan of the threads in the part you’re threading into. Bentley says the manifold bolts are torque to yield, so a well calculated torque percentage adjustment will still stretch the fastener to spec.

[@ulflei]

I bought a 2008 GT a year ago and use it as a daily driver I cant work on them but like to watch videos like yours . Whatever money a good mechanic makes he deserves better ,great job and I subscribed

[@wokemusicstudios5408]

What’s the firing order ?

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Impressive!! Thumbs up. I thought changing spark plugs on a Ford Shelby was hard, holy mackerel...unbelievable. I learned a lot thank you Mario.

[@sonnyjamescrocketts4822]

bravo patience of a saint

[@stratsw]

Great video. Fantastic work. If I come to your area to live I’ll certainly be getting my vehicle looked after by you. Good luck keep safe

[@originalforgery]

Outstanding video....

[@Synapsic]

Well done, great job.

[@33798]

Yes though it's how to but for Bentley it's a deserved video Mr.Mario... Thanks

[@NordicAdvRider]

Great video. Perfect with all small details you mentioned. 👍👍

[@saab770]

Hi Mario you forgot test the car to see if it can go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds if i got that opportunity to work on that car i would open that garage door and take that car for the drive of its life just to make sure the check engine light doesn't come on of coarse!!!!!!!! regards John

[@marktgohara]

Thanks for making this video. I decided to tackle the job myself and it took me just over 4 hours from start to finish - the longest part was reinstalling the air boxes and getting the intake hoses to reconnect

[@baxrok2.]

20ftlbs! I thought it would be more like 7 to 10ftlbs. Nice job Mario!

[@mrsnuff8252]

i cant stop watching this what pointers can you give me for this job that you in hind sight overlooked?

[@Dg-zj6jo]

nice video nice job wheres the wing covers ha all that work for PLUGS wow i think i would do 6 then plug the 6 back in then do the other side 6 so i would not get mixed up .you dont want to cross thread that lot credit to the way you be brought up some one did a good job peace. do more gt jobs brilliant

[@sthomas3803]

💯💯💯💯

[@tinapegrum54]

Wow that's amazing like a full on operation well done .

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Thank you!

[@StephenDENIS-o4g]

Thank you. Clear instructions and painstaking attention to detail. A class act.

[@djosbun]

Pretty cool how the new intake manifold gasket had a "packed on" date. Fresh like a nice carton of eggs!

[@karstenbusklarsen9807]

Great and informative video. What kind of grease did you use when installing the ignition coils?

[@beemer1111]

Great work Mario, I will do this job in about 15k, and will do my best to match your skill and attention to detail. Thanks so much for making this information available.
