Hot

I've noticed on these Bentley the engines are verifiable furnaces. I'm sure that this heat is a contributor to some module failure. Certainly the vacuum line problem of the early models was exacerbated by the heat. Residual heat from the engine once parked, the garage gets quite warm. Lately I've taken to opening the hood to dissipate the heat. Also installed a fan with a 1 hour timer to blow on the motor. Perhaps it's over kill but easy to do.

Great idea...I park mine in the garage and the temperature climbs 15+ degrees when I come in from a drive!

That's not a bad idea.

Mind showing us your fan setup? We sometimes keep our Dogo in the garage and it gets pretty hot in there even with the door crack after a nice ride.

This is low-tech. I purchased the plug-in Woods timer. Set it for 1 hour. The fan is plugged into the timer. This is a standard house fan. In the garage there's a shelf above the engine hood with a fan angled down at the engine compartment.

Oh damn...simple yet functional. 😂 I’m kicking myself because I use a Woods Wifi plug for my deck lights and the heated water bowls and heat lamps for the outside dogs kennels for the winter. I should have thought about that.
