This thread is for common problems many of us have endured with 2005+ Bentley cars. Please also list year/model and cost to repair.




MODEL: 2007 Bentley GTC


False air problem/vacuum leak caused by bad main vacuum hose/line that is buried behind the engine. Requires engine out. $3,900


Broken plastic around the oil dip stick. $30


Upper control arm bushings (one main part, 4 bushings). $834
(would have been more in labor yet done during vacuum hose engine out repair)

 

i have a 2004 with 49,000 miles.expenses above and beyond my expectations 1)repair 3rd brake light $1100.2) falling headliner $500. 3) broken oil dipstick $100. 4) repair shifter bezel(that black plastic piece) $900!!5) replace TPMS-all hardware $3000.6) replace ambient air sensor $350. 7) replace front struts $5000. i knew what i was getting into, no complaints, well maybe the bezel

 

What year was the vacuum hose design problem fixed? 2009?

 

ERROR CODE: p2438 air injection system air flow pressure


Part needed: 07C906051 ($60 or less)

The procedure is as follows.

Open hood

Remove the plastic small black cover by pulling it towards the front of the car. This gives you working room.

Remove the two stock black ALLEN bolts (one top, one bottom). FYI: Stupid me dropped one during reinstallation so I used Phillips when reinstalling. It is a bit tight to get access to the lower bolt yet very doable and not really that hard.

Swap defective old for new part.

Reinstall screws HOPING to not have one drop onto the black hole of the car's lower aero (I used Blu-Tack as you can see on the bolt head).


Reinstall small black plastic grill bit


Clear error code.


You're done.


BTW this circuit is only used during startup so no damage or symptom during normal operation is what I've been told.

 

2007 GT - both front struts at 41,000 miles for $4K. Headliner starting to sag and quote received for $500.

 

Larry...did I see correctly that you replaced all TPMS hardware for $3000??? What was all that about...JimB

 

perhaps i should have asked more questions! TPMS control module bentley $857.00 TPMS sensor bentley ($296.00 each) $1184.00 TPMS valve ($48.20 each)$192.80 R&R approx $270.00 total is $2503.80. sorry about misleading # of $3000. about $500.00 was for other work on car. PS i have since found a bentley tech who is fabulous and less expensive than the indy who did my TPMS
