Hi Mike.

One thing I do know is that the letter after the numbers denotes the year of manufacture.
I found out when I bought an Audi electric vacuum pump for the Bentley. Same number but with a later date letter.

Needless to say that the Audi part was a lot cheaper.

Hi Les

that seems to be part of the problem. Ivor thinks it has broken in the past and someone has fitted one of the early motors in replacement (The early motors activate at a higher speed 100mph instead of 60mph)

The correct part (with a bentley logo on the sticker) is £340 quid, yet VW make one for the Beetle thats £49.......

Ill see what the final bill is when hes finished with the other work on the car and may just risk it for a biscuit its only £49 and I can probably resell it on a well known auction site if it doesnt work?..

 

That's odd. My spoiler activates at exactly 70mph and retracts at 45ish. Mind you, I do have V8S wheels and tyres on it which are a slightly bigger rolling radius than the originals.

Les.

 

Sounds about right for yours Les.

I need to be hitting license losing speeds just to see my spoiler

do you have any photos of your wheels, Iv been looking at the 21" SSR Titaniums for mine, did you find the bentley stamped tyres ok?

As pointed out, the offending part in the airfoil assembly is the weakness of the plastic threaded tubing..threads give up. Not easy to pick apart the (closed) assembly, but a good fix is just to block the plastic from moving / snapping out of position e.g. with a wooden block cut to size.
Amazing what top marques fit in unsuitable plastic and sub-standard alloys these days (don't get me started about Porsche).

 

Hi Mike.

Sorry for the delay. Here you go.

 

the rear air spoiler on my 2004 Bentley GT doesn't retract on one side. It will go down, but then springs back up on drivers side.

 

The the cover off from the inside of the boot lid and you should be able to see what's happening.

 

hi did you find out if the beetle part worked ?

 

Had malfunction light on dash manual switches didn't work spoiler down
if spoiler was lifted with star drive on spoiler motor when ether manual switch was pushed spoiler would drop back in stages and light would come on
replaced spoiler motor with bentley unit and all worked fine
fault must have been circuit board in motor assembly

 

I have the same problem while I was diving today. Any cheaper solution than 3500$?

 

​​​​​​Hello @Pablen84 ,
I tagged you in another thread for the spoiler issue.
Post number 27 in said thread by @flyc2c is what I did, it has been working great ever since.

Thank you very much Johny for your help, I hope I can solve it and pay that $3500 for a spoiler.

 

As a result of the thread, I would like to ask the experts in the matter my following question:

Could this problem be because a battery is not good? or both?
I say this because I have been having problems with the radio-navigation system for some time.
As you know, I have an android-carplay system, it always works perfectly, but the vehicle menu screen sometimes stays backlit but you can't see it, on the other hand, the temperature and volume buttons usually work, depending on the day... There are also days when everything works correctly. I even have a ctek maintainer but it does not solve the problem and my mechanic did a diagnosis of the batteries a few months ago and told me that they were in good health.

I still think that it must be something electrical, even more so when I have encountered the problem of the spoiler, could someone tell me if I am right or wrong?

 

Does anyone have a source for replacement clips for the rear wing cable assembly....or tips on making replacements out of metal as Jmolnar had mentioned
2007 Continental GT rear wing issue

Thanks
