Dears,

I own a Continental Flying Spur Speed 2011, unfortunately there is rough idle only when car is cold (first start). All spark plug were changed as it was showing initially some misfire but still the issue persist. After smoke test, its showing some vaccum hose leakage behind the engine. For this model, is there a way to fix the leak without taking down the engine?

Yes, you only need to remove the steering rack on your 2011

Or if you want to get creative, you can bypass the steering rack lines with less than $50 of tubing and clamps

 

thanks a million 🙏. Will try this

 

Thats actually a good idea. Johnny has posted pictures of the rack area and vac hoses. Try a search. Iirc the pictures are very helpful.
