Bentley Continental GT Mulliner Ed. 2005 6.0 Petrol Emission
Discussion
Hi,
Looking for some advise on:
-Emission Light.
-Wheel Fitment
for my: Bentley Continental GT Mulliner Ed. 2005 6.0 Petrol Emission
the Orange Light that looks like an Engine block (Engine Warning Light) in Most Car's (but i have checked the Manual and it say's its Emissions and the EPC light is Engine). is now on. what causes this?
i used 95 Fuel instead of 98, as i did not know it was needed, it even says 98/(95) on the inside of the Fuel Cap like its a advisory.
should i be adding an additive to bring the Fuel upto Super Fuel? i know sensors go a lot on this Model, how do you know if its a Faulty Sensor?
-Wheels:
im looking to get the Largest Possible Wheels on this Car,
how would i find out how large i can go before i need to start rolling arches, i don't want to make any adjustments to the arches at all.
i guess he Tyres would also contribute to that?
-Finally the Display say's Tyre Pressure not available,
why could this be?
and if i fit new Wheel's im guessing i won't be able to use that?
-and Finally Finally, there is a Wuring Noise sounds like its coming through the Speaker, like interference,
is this meant to be the Exhaust sound playing through the speakers?
Thanks Guys!!

I have a 2010 GT Speed and my emission light came on shortly after purchase. It just happened to coincide with my putting 98ron fuel in with the previous only using 95ron. The advice was that the sensors are so sensitive that the change in petrol caused it to recognise a difference and produce an error code.
As it doesn't effect the performance of the car I lived with it until its service where they diagnosed a faulty sensor which they changed under warranty.
I have used 98ron since with no further issues.
I have 20" wheels on my car.
The lack of tyre pressure could be the TPMS packing in.

I have no idea which make of wheels you intend to use but it's worth
remembering to check the ET (wheel offset). Larger diameter (and maybe wider rims)
will bring the tyre wall very close to the front suspension leg. There is a small "nib" that
can be ground away to help with clearance. I had it done on mine when I fitted
slightly wider rims.

Hi nickl33333.
Firstly, the GT doesn't make an exhaust sound from the speakers.
Any warning lights on these things can be a result of a low battery, always assume that first before spending money.
The lack of TPMS could be that the sensor batteries have died, they typically last for around 5 years. You can fit new aftermarket sensors to any wheels you want. Did that myself last year, well, my Indie in Crewe did!
The wheels, I changed from the original 19" split rims to the new V8S 20" style. (Easier to clean) I did have to grind away the nib on the suspension strut too, the gap was still really close though, so, since having new tyres last week, I have fitted spacers for peace of mind. 12mm front & 20mm rear.

Good luck.
