I know it’s bad bad and dirty! As soon as I’m able to pull off I’m going to get a full tank and tires detailed before I get it wrapped/dipped!

Any reason a female couldn't date a woman who buys their partner a Bentley?

Glad to hear your car is feeling better.

This is when I was saying the suspension was completely on the ground. But it lifted once I changed the buss bar and the 80 amp on the driver side battery.

I tip my hat to you. Anyone who can get into the Bentley Quagmire and get out unscathed deserves three cheers.😉

Nice 👍🏾..same color as mines. I hope you get it up and running soon. When you do, have the vacuum lines checked for leaks via a smoke test. The early years had an issue with them.

You guys are too much 🤣. But you all helped me so much because I was a day away from just shipping it to the dealer to give away all my savings. I already saved a lot being able to order the fuses and change the battery and fuses myself. The mechanic claims he wants to video me doing my own oil change cause I refuse to pay hundreds to turn a few screws and let liquid drain out! Let me get past this tire properly first without killing the suspension! But I think I got it. I won’t do it without the mechanic present Infact he will prob do it i’ll Just be on his neck watching and directing 🤣. But he’s great himself but I need In on everything with this machine! So tomorrow is a new day guys ... let’s see if I get this done. Anyone know where I can get the front marker lights from. I have a connection where the guy is gonna charge 800 for both oem because they are 649 each at the dealer

Don't quote me because I’m no mechanic but I think it’s dealing with the engine and can have your car running lean. I hear some leaks are bad and will give your car the feeling of a misfire. I have a leak but I have zero hesitation BUT I’m getting it fixed because I know it’s not supposed to be that way..lol. When I hit the gas, she moves!

How much does that cost? Is that something the dealer has to do. I’m trying to avoid that place, but I will go if I have to

I gad mines done at the Audi dealership and paid around $150-$180 but I feel any mechanic worth his training could do it. Ask the guy you been dealing with, he may be able too or atleast point you to a shop that he’s comfortable with. I knew I had one because I did a Ross Tech scan and it basically came up with a vacuum leak code. I took it in as a second opinion.

That’s sounds about right. While mines apart I’m having my starter changed along with the turbo oil feed line, vacuum pump, spark plug and ignition coils . Not doing that twice!

Don't forget to do the O2 sensors/lambda sensors. The n75 and n249 sensors should get changed too. All of these are like us. When they get old they get lazy and eventually fail.😉

n75 boost control solenoid
n249 dump valve control solenoid

When those solenoids fail you can get overboost or no boost.

@1eapplebaum Good evening guys. The car will not go into jack mode. Should the car be running when I put it in jack mode? Because I got in the car closed the doors started the car and put it in jack mode holding the two buttons on each side of the wing button. Should I do it with the car off?
