Once upon a time, someone paid $275,00000:00:06
for this prestigious W12 Bentley. And I00:00:12
didn't.00:00:17
I waited until it was essentially run00:00:19
into the ground and got it for an00:00:22
unbelievable 96% off of its original00:00:26
price. Mind you, there are some issues.00:00:28
Mold is one of them. There's mold00:00:31
everywhere. Look at this. It was painted00:00:33
with a spatula. The bodywork is in less00:00:36
than ideal shape. So, this is completely00:00:39
caved in. However, the equipment is00:00:41
good. Has an inbuilt pond full with00:00:43
water. It's low mileage, only 161,00000:00:48
mi. It supposedly runs good, but I00:00:50
bought it with an electrical issue where00:00:52
the whole car cuts off after about 10 1500:00:55
minutes of running. What I'm getting at,00:00:57
it's the worst. Bentley flying turd00:00:58
[music] out there and somehow things00:01:01
will go from worse to worse sir.00:01:03
Foolishly I decided to try [music] to00:01:05
fix it. It was shlept back to the shop00:01:08
and we started with water intrusion. The00:01:10
right side of the interior is literally00:01:12
swimming in water. The sunroof drain was00:01:14
clogged which was an easy enough fix. I00:01:16
took the front carpet out fully flipped00:01:19
up the rear one and started drying the00:01:21
interior. Ah, and a nice rust spot was00:01:23
hiding there. We got the car running up00:01:25
to operating temp a few times and it was00:01:28
running rather nicely. Did I just fix00:01:30
it?00:01:32
No. That is up until it started leaking00:01:35
something off camera. I jumped in the00:01:37
car, turned it off, looked at the00:01:38
cooling gauge to make sure it wasn't00:01:40
overheating, and it wasn't. The gauge00:01:42
was exactly at 90° C. Remember that for00:01:45
later. We have a slight coolant leak00:01:47
here. That's not it, though. There's00:01:49
something leaking below. Oh, I don't00:01:51
know if it's the tank and maybe that's00:01:53
why this doesn't feel like coolant. It's00:01:54
water. We got to let it cool off. That's00:01:56
uh water. That's not coolant. And it's00:01:58
definitely what was leaking earlier. So,00:02:01
let's see where it's coming from.00:02:02
>> This is a coolant pressure tester kit00:02:04
with which we can put pressure on the00:02:06
cooling system and troubleshoot the00:02:08
leak. No, no, no. I think I found the00:02:12
winner.00:02:14
Yep, that feels good. I've never used00:02:16
that tool kit before. I bought it a long00:02:17
time ago. Never had the need to use it.00:02:19
So, now you're going to put some00:02:22
pressure on the cooling system.00:02:25
And where is it leaking from?00:02:30
I can hear it. It's definitely from this00:02:32
connection here.00:02:34
Is that the only the only spot where00:02:36
it's leaking? I don't see anything else.00:02:37
So, maybe that is the only spot.00:02:40
That's 15 PSI. It's plenty. Yeah, it's00:02:43
leaking from this line. Let's see if00:02:44
it's the rubber hose or00:02:47
the tank that's at fault.00:02:54
Ah, I think the nipple is broken. Yep.00:02:57
Yes, the nipple is made out of cheese.00:03:00
There you can see the crack.00:03:04
That's some crappy plastic, man. Now,00:03:07
how in the schnitle do you remove this00:03:09
expansion tank? It's tucked underneath00:03:11
of the fender. Hopefully, I don't need00:03:13
to remove the fender, but let's find00:03:15
out. M.00:03:20
So that's the air filter box. What does00:03:22
the filter look like? 2019.00:03:25
So not terribly old. Little bit dirty,00:03:28
but not the end of the world.00:03:31
Does it just pull up? I see an00:03:32
aftermarket clamp there. So someone was00:03:34
in here.00:03:36
Okay. Plug the math. Uhhuh.00:03:41
Okay, that was easy. The valve cover00:03:43
gasket is leaking there up front as you00:03:45
can see. And look at this W12. It's00:03:48
pushed all the way forward over the00:03:50
front axle. So, two VR6s. It looks00:03:54
pretty small, I gotta say. It starts00:03:55
from there to there. It'll be fun00:03:58
working on this thing. So, no one ever00:03:59
Is that the steering rack on the top?00:04:02
How's that even possible? Let's cover00:04:04
the air intake. Don't want anything00:04:06
falling in there. I'm still not00:04:07
convinced that's the only coolant leak00:04:09
that this thing has.00:04:14
Right. We got to uncip this from the00:04:16
tank.00:04:19
There it is. All right. And then the one00:04:21
on the bottom. And we should have splash00:04:23
splashes thing going on there.00:04:27
You ready? No. Good.00:04:30
Yeah, that's just pure water. So, this00:04:32
was a pre-existing issue. Now, let's see00:04:35
if we can just pull it out. That would00:04:37
be neat if Yes.00:04:42
Oh,00:04:43
feels like it's ready to come out. It's00:04:45
just there's a lot going on here. Aha,00:04:47
we have an coolant level sensor. Plug00:04:49
that.00:04:52
Hey, that was easy. Surprisingly easy.00:04:55
All right, I'm going to go search for a00:04:56
replacement part. And once that comes00:04:58
in, can perhaps even drive this thing.00:05:00
Good news, everybody. It's a brand new00:05:03
day, which means a brand new leak. The00:05:06
tire is leaking. Remember how the brake00:05:07
fluid reservoir was empty and I topped00:05:09
it off in the previous episode? Well,00:05:11
guess where that went? Precisely what I00:05:13
want to see on my expensive Bentley.00:05:15
Anyway, let's get this elephante up in00:05:17
the air so we can see what that is. But00:05:20
also, I'm pretty sure it's not just the00:05:21
expansion tank that's leaking. Something00:05:23
in that corner popped and it's leaking00:05:25
badly now. So, we need to figure out00:05:27
that as well. I would like just to point00:05:29
out that I brought the car in, started00:05:31
fixing one thing, and in the meantime,00:05:33
three more things broke. Two coolant00:05:36
leaks and now the suspension leak. I00:05:39
hate cars that don't have dedicated00:05:41
jacking points. Should be illegal.00:05:44
Smashed to bits, man. I'm not so sure00:05:46
that this will work. [clears throat]00:05:48
Let's try. Where is the jacking point,00:05:51
dude? Is that it or this smashed thing00:05:54
here? All right, let's try this. The00:05:56
floor is pretty ruined already.00:06:02
I mean, I can't mess it up more than00:06:04
what it is right now.00:06:08
It's up.00:06:10
[laughter]00:06:12
You can feel the weight. It's leaning00:06:13
towards the front.00:06:17
Let's check the suspension for play. The00:06:19
wheels are destroyed. Tires are old.00:06:22
Brakes are shot.00:06:26
Well, that feels okay. And yep, the00:06:29
steering rack is here. Have a look in00:06:32
here. That's the steering rack. That's00:06:34
the massive air shock and the line that00:06:36
goes to it and everything inside. At00:06:39
least visually looks okay. Let's check00:06:41
out the other side. But you can see just00:06:43
how rusty the brake disc is. There's a00:06:46
big lip. The wheels are completely00:06:48
destroyed. And these are pretty ugly00:06:50
wheels, I might add. If we restore this00:06:51
car, we need to get different wheels. I00:06:54
already found a set online, but it's00:06:56
it's expensive and I don't want to spend00:06:58
start spending money on this car until I00:07:00
figure out what I want to do with it.00:07:04
[laughter]00:07:05
That feels like play to me. But from00:07:07
where? So, it's side to side play.00:07:11
I think it's from this tie rod end here.00:07:15
See, it shouldn't have that much play.00:07:17
Another destroyed brake disc.00:07:20
Air shock. And you can see a bit of rust00:07:23
on the lines there. And I think this00:07:26
might have some play, but I need to00:07:27
verify. We need to get the car further00:07:28
up in the air. Fender liner eaten. And00:07:31
then this area is really bad here. Let's00:07:34
see. The rear left. No side to side00:07:36
play.00:07:38
No play in this wheel. The wheel that's00:07:40
leaking.00:07:43
Oh, that's good. That's good as well.00:07:46
Does he have LSD? It does not.00:07:53
I mean, who knew? It's not just BMW. Del00:07:56
oil.00:07:58
Billstein. Nice.00:08:02
It's good. I don't even know where to00:08:03
start, I guess. Let's start in the00:08:05
front. The front cover completely00:08:08
missing. The bumper broken. And look at00:08:10
the state of the radiator and the fins.00:08:14
It's destroyed. There's no other word.00:08:16
It's been battered on by stones and00:08:19
everything. And I think that's due for00:08:22
replacement. We have oil leaks all over00:08:24
the place. A big one from the oil filter00:08:27
housing. At least that's easy to fix.00:08:30
Then more oil dripping from above. A zip00:08:34
tie here. And then the radiator even00:08:36
from this side does not look the00:08:38
greatest00:08:40
leak00:08:42
from these connections here. That's oil.00:08:45
And then look at the state of whatever00:08:47
that is. I don't know if that's vibasto00:08:50
or some sort of heater or whatever, but00:08:54
coolant goes to it and it's in horrific00:08:56
state. We have some sort of small00:08:58
muffler here. So yeah, that's probably00:09:00
Vibasto. Yeah, it even says that. So00:09:02
this is for the for heating. You know,00:09:04
when you're in your house, you can turn00:09:05
on the Vibasto and it's going to heat up00:09:08
the cabin. Lots of surface corrosion all00:09:10
over the place. There you can see the00:09:13
rusty wheel and we have Billstein air00:09:15
suspension. So no hydraulic suspension00:09:17
on this car whatsoever. And I still need00:09:20
to determine where that play is coming00:09:22
from. But one of these ball joints here.00:09:24
This cover is at least here. And then if00:09:26
you go to this side, I can't see any00:09:28
coolant related parts from this00:09:30
position. So I'll have to look from00:09:31
above. We have a homemade bracket there.00:09:34
And look at the state of that CV axle.00:09:37
Yeah, that's been slinging grease for a00:09:39
while. Both of the clamps on the left00:09:41
side and the right side are gone. That00:09:43
rubber boot actually looks freshish, a00:09:46
lot fresher than that one. So, someone00:09:48
was definitely in here before. And also,00:09:50
we have a leak here from this flange00:09:54
here on the transmission. This is00:09:55
actually front diff. Oh, and another00:09:57
thing, someone was already in here. Look00:09:59
at the state of that knuckle. Someone00:10:01
was hammering the crap out of that00:10:02
there. So, that was replaced at some00:10:05
point. The oil pan looks dry. We have00:10:09
bushings here on the front subframe that00:10:12
looks toasty on the right side as well.00:10:14
So that probably needs doing. I do00:10:16
wonder if this engine was ever out00:10:18
because they are known for having vacuum00:10:21
leaks as a and for that you got to drop00:10:23
the whole engine. But given how many00:10:24
kilometers this thing has quite possible00:10:26
that the engine was out and you know00:10:28
quite a lot here is not original. Then00:10:30
if we move down the line, speaking of00:10:32
not original, look at the state00:10:34
[clears throat] of the exhaust. Look at00:10:35
those welds. Think that's Bentley doing?00:10:38
I don't think so. That bolt is broken00:10:40
there as well. Another one missing00:10:42
there. So the exhaust was definitely off00:10:45
at some point, but floor thus far looks00:10:48
good and rust free. That's Volkswagen00:10:51
for you. Let's move further down the00:10:52
line. Yeah, someone used goop there to00:10:55
seal the exhaust. And there. And that00:10:59
that's where the brake fluid is going.00:11:02
Look at the state of this wheel. It is00:11:04
totally destroyed. The caliper is00:11:07
leaking heavily. I guess from the00:11:09
connection there or that box. This is an00:11:12
electronic parking brake. So, this00:11:13
entire caliper needs to come off and see00:11:15
what's going on. I can't believe someone00:11:17
drove it like that. That's insane. So,00:11:20
that's where we are losing our brake00:11:21
fluid. The output shaft a bit rusty, but00:11:24
doesn't look terrible. And again, we00:11:26
have no play in the suspension in the00:11:28
back. And if you look at the state of00:11:30
the bushings, that looks quite okay. The00:11:32
diff is dry. Looks like a skinny diff.00:11:35
But look at that. It's an F1 car. Look00:11:38
at that downforce. That's a nice design.00:11:41
I think this was one of the marketing00:11:43
tricks they used and how this car00:11:45
managed to get up to high speed and stay00:11:48
stable. Stuff like this downforce. So,00:11:50
we definitely need a front panel in the00:11:52
front if we want to do a high-speed run.00:11:54
This popped out. The exhaust tips.00:11:58
They're inside. So, fake tips there. So,00:12:01
that's the tour of the Bentley. It's00:12:03
good. You know, like I said in the first00:12:05
episode, it's it's really good. Okay. I00:12:08
Let's put the car down on the ground and00:12:09
see if we can find that coolant leak.00:12:12
Must be coming somewhere from above.00:12:13
Man, this car needs a crap ton of work.00:12:15
There's a lot of oil leaks here as well.00:12:18
This could be from the valve cover00:12:19
gasket. It could be from that power00:12:21
steering cooler.00:12:24
Down it goes. Wow, that was that's00:12:27
something. The condition of this car. So00:12:29
fixable still.00:12:31
Okay, let's see if we can find a coolant00:12:33
leak. Can't be just a bottle. That was00:12:35
way too much coolant for it to be just a00:12:37
bottle. Well, I've been searching, but I00:12:39
can't find a smoking gun. There's one00:12:42
line that runs underneath. It doesn't00:12:44
look like it's leaking. Then some00:12:46
connections here that go to the00:12:48
radiator. Maybe that's leaking. We'll00:12:49
have to refit the expansion tank and00:12:51
then pressure test it and see if it's00:12:53
leaking somewhere else as well. Okay,00:12:55
now that we know how fabulous this car00:12:58
is, I think we can all agree that it's00:13:01
it's total. Everything is shot on this00:13:03
once very expensive vehicle. So, at this00:13:06
point, I'm thinking, let's just get it00:13:09
running and driving safely. I don't want00:13:11
to die in a Bentley. That means we got00:13:13
to fix the rear right caliper, the00:13:15
coolant leaks, the CV boots. We can fix00:13:17
that with some clamps. And I think at00:13:19
that point, we can go for a nice drive00:13:21
because I also want to see and feel if00:13:24
the transmission is good, if the00:13:26
suspension is good, and especially if00:13:28
that electrical issue with the engine00:13:30
comes back, if it's going to stay00:13:31
running for a while or it's just going00:13:33
to cut off. And then we can decide what00:13:35
we want to do with this thing. I mean,00:13:37
it needs complete restoration. The whole00:13:39
body mechanically, the interior is in00:13:41
decentish condition, so that's not too00:13:43
bad, but everything else is just00:13:45
terrible. And it makes absolutely no00:13:47
logical or financial sense to restore00:13:50
this car. So,00:13:53
I don't know. We'll see. Here's the00:13:55
brand new expansion tank. And Volkswagen00:13:57
Feton uses the same expansion tank, same00:14:00
part number. So, I picked this up00:14:02
locally. €168.00:14:05
You can get it a bit cheaper online, but00:14:06
I needed this fast. The tanks are a00:14:09
little bit different. Maybe you can see00:14:11
this one has bigger bulge here and this00:14:15
tiny hole for the screw from the fender.00:14:18
And this one is more flat. So, I think00:14:20
it should still work. The part numbers00:14:21
are the same. First, we need to transfer00:14:23
over this cap here.00:14:25
Well, that broke. Maybe it was leaking00:14:27
from here.00:14:29
This just broke. All right, I got that00:14:32
transferred over. Sneaky sneakers in00:14:33
time.00:14:36
Plug in the level sensor. Click. Mhm.00:14:39
There's a grommet here that we need to00:14:41
nail. Let's push this through. There we00:14:45
are.00:14:48
Confirmed. Feton expansion tank does00:14:51
fit. I didn't even look up the price for00:14:53
the Bentley one, but it's definitely not00:14:55
going to be cheaper than this one.00:15:00
And that's the expansion tank replaced.00:15:03
This00:15:04
is the correct coolant from Liquali for00:15:07
Volkswagen for this car, KSF12 Evo. And00:15:12
I diluted a little bit of that with00:15:13
distilled water. I don't want to waste a00:15:15
good coolant until we verify that the00:15:17
system is tight and not leaking. And00:15:20
also, I'm pretty sure we're going to be00:15:21
draining this coolant again cuz, you00:15:22
know, maybe the engine needs to come00:15:24
out. So, ignition on,00:15:27
set the fan to the lowest setting and00:15:30
temperature to the highest.00:15:34
There. Now I can start adding coolant.00:15:35
Should probably get a funnel, huh? Ah,00:15:37
it's okay.00:15:40
Any leaks so far?00:15:45
The level is at max. So, let's pressure00:15:48
test it.00:15:51
All right, got one bar of pressure00:15:52
there. It appears to be leak free. Oh,00:15:55
ma. Been a few minutes00:15:59
talking to my wife on the phone and00:16:01
there are no leaks at all and the00:16:04
pressure is steady. It's not dropping.00:16:07
So, that's good to see. I don't see any00:16:09
leaks. So, maybe it was a cooling00:16:11
bottle. Now, we're going to put the maps00:16:13
back on and the air filter. Let's start00:16:15
it. Let it run and see how it behaves.00:16:24
Okay. Any immediate coolant leaks?00:16:28
No. I'm going to let it warm up and00:16:30
monitor the temperature00:16:33
and let's see if we have any leaks. Like00:16:35
that was a lot of coolant coming from00:16:36
this area here. And the expansion tank00:16:38
is right over there. Maybe it kind of00:16:41
dribbled that way down. I'm not so sure.00:16:43
It's been running over 20 minutes now.00:16:46
And just listen to it.00:16:49
It's smooth as silk. It in spite of00:16:50
once. No codes, no coolant leaks. The00:16:53
temperature is right at 90° C. So,00:16:56
fixed.00:16:58
Probably not. But at this point, I can00:17:00
shut the engine off. And then let's look00:17:02
into that rear eye caliper and see which00:17:04
parts I need to order because it's00:17:06
Friday. We need parts.00:17:17
Oh no, we have a safety locking nut.00:17:22
Didn't I see that somewhere? Or was the00:17:24
the other car that I bought? All right,00:17:26
I'm going to go through the car and see00:17:27
if I can find that.00:17:29
The locking nut was in the trunk. I00:17:31
think Taylor Swift.00:17:34
How heavy is this wheel?00:17:37
Made in Turkey. Bentley. What I want to00:17:40
know now is where is this caliper00:17:42
leaking from? Is it from the housing for00:17:44
the parking brake motor? It looks00:17:46
properly bad. So, I'm going to clean it00:17:48
up a little bit, step on the brake, and00:17:50
let's see if we can see where the leak00:17:51
is coming from. Perhaps from the00:17:53
electric parking brake housing.00:17:56
So, these should be the same calipers as00:17:58
an Audi A8 V3. So, we should be able to00:18:01
get a rebuild kit for this.00:18:05
Okay, I'm going to go push the brake00:18:07
pedal in my hand. You can start yelling00:18:08
at the TV or laptop or your phone.00:18:15
What do we have? That looks fresh. Let's00:18:17
wipe it off again.00:18:21
Okay. So, it looks like it's coming from00:18:22
the housing of the electric parking00:18:26
brake. There you can see a fresh fluid00:18:28
coming out there. As this is an00:18:31
electronic parking brake, you need to00:18:32
use the diagnostic tool to retract the00:18:35
parking brake and then you can remove00:18:37
the caliper. I don't have that00:18:38
diagnostic tool. I disconnected the00:18:40
battery. I can turn the caliper, which00:18:42
means the disc, which means that the00:18:45
parking brake is not engaged. So, let's00:18:47
remove it. First, disconnect the plug00:18:49
for the parking brake.00:18:53
There we go. Unbolt the brake line.00:18:57
Okay, this is the flare wrench.00:19:00
There we go.00:19:02
That's not good.00:19:06
Not at all. Rust loser.00:19:09
See if I can grip that line somehow.00:19:13
Oh, it's working. Oh, this is going to00:19:17
take forever.00:19:22
There it is. Okay, I have a plug here00:19:24
for the brake line so it doesn't drip00:19:26
constantly. There. All right, that only00:19:29
took 15 hours to do. I'm going to try00:19:31
and push the pads in.00:19:35
Yep, that worked. That's good. Remove00:19:38
the heavily oxidized Bentley cover.00:19:41
Don't know if that needs to come off,00:19:42
but I do want to remove it.00:19:46
Is that just a beauty cover? Pretty much00:19:48
thin 17 there and 13 on the back.00:19:58
How about the pads? Well, we don't care00:20:00
about the pads at this point. They still00:20:02
have some meat left on them. Let's take00:20:04
apart this caliper.00:20:08
Okay, [snorts]00:20:09
that's not good.00:20:13
Well, bugger. That's going to round off.00:20:19
Crap.00:20:21
Nope. Just rounding that off. Let's00:20:23
first remove the parking brake00:20:25
mechanism.00:20:32
Super corroded.00:20:35
All right,00:20:39
there it is. That is that's [snorts]00:20:41
where it was leaking from here. Utterly00:20:43
destroyed. There's also a code for this00:20:47
motor here. This simply didn't work00:20:48
anymore. Okay, we have an O-ring here.00:20:54
Clip.00:20:56
Now, if you wind down the screw here,00:20:59
the piston should come out. At least00:21:04
I think so. Oh, it's a little bit clear.00:21:06
Out.00:21:11
There it is.00:21:13
The piston is out. Nice and easy. You00:21:15
just got to wind that screw. Super00:21:17
bizarre design.00:21:21
So, this is what failed. this O-ring on00:21:24
the back and the brake fluid was coming00:21:26
out of this hole into the housing of the00:21:29
electric parking brake and then down00:21:31
into the wheel.00:21:34
So bad. The housing inside is clean.00:21:37
That's good. Sounds orange. So, this00:21:40
caliper thankfully is the exact same one00:21:43
as for Audi A8 D3, except Bentley00:21:47
drilled four holes here, added some00:21:50
threads for that Bentley cap, but00:21:52
otherwise identical. So, I can order a00:21:54
rebuild kit for that car, and hopefully00:21:56
we can sort out this caliper. But here's00:21:58
what we have here. an O-ring that00:22:00
failed,00:22:01
a plate, needle bearings,00:22:07
a shaft, and this cog.00:22:10
That's it. I mean, it's not too00:22:12
complicated, but I need to get all of00:22:14
this brand new. But first, we need to00:22:15
see if we can remove this line.00:22:20
And everything is going to smell like00:22:22
gone wrong barbecue.00:22:28
Yep. I'm rounding it off. Perfect. Okay,00:22:31
I'm going to cut this line.00:22:39
[snorts] Oh, I'm an engineer with a G.00:22:44
There he go.00:22:47
That's out. Cool. This caliper is00:22:50
definitely savable. While I'm waiting on00:22:51
the parts for the brakes to arrive,00:22:53
let's tackle the interior, namely the00:22:55
rust. The carpet is now fully dry. I00:22:58
used that massive heater and I also put00:23:01
a few of these dehumidifier containers00:23:03
as well as the machine. So, it's sucking00:23:05
out all the moisture. Now, we're going00:23:07
to remove this contraption here. This00:23:10
was sitting in water. It's bound to have00:23:11
some kindization. So, we need to inspect00:23:13
it. And then we need to treat this rust00:23:16
here. So, this is for the passages in00:23:19
the back, the ventilation. Given how00:23:21
much water we had here, it wouldn't be00:23:23
surprising if this is put.00:23:26
See? Yep, there you go. This connector00:23:29
is corroded.00:23:31
How about good sir?00:23:34
Doesn't look too bad.00:23:39
More water there. Yeah, it's all00:23:41
corroded. First, I'm scraping off the00:23:43
top layer of the rust.00:23:55
>> [snorts]00:23:56
>> And then sand blasting the rust away to00:23:58
get the clean metal.00:24:21
Well, that took a lot longer than I00:24:23
expected, but I removed as much as I00:24:25
could of the rust. It's not possible to00:24:28
remove 100%. For that, we would need to00:24:30
separate these two panels. This is a00:24:32
structural part. The rust really isn't00:24:34
that bad, so it's not necessary to do00:24:36
that. But, I did get pretty far in, you00:24:38
know, using various tools, sand blasting00:24:40
and whatnot. So now we're going to use00:24:42
Brunox epoxy rust converter and primer00:24:44
two in one. Apply two to three layers.00:24:46
Let it dry, then paint, then clear coat.00:24:49
And finally, we're going to use cable00:24:50
grease from Luke Molly. Spritz that all00:24:52
over inside and stop any further rust00:24:55
development if this area ever gets wet.00:24:57
But as long as it's not soaking in water00:24:59
again like that, this is not going to00:25:01
rust further.00:25:22
Let that dry and then we're going to do00:25:24
bait.00:25:26
Yeah, I grabbed the wrong can. This00:25:28
one's black greenish. So, I let that dry00:25:30
and then hit it with some gray paint.00:25:34
>> [snorts]00:25:39
>> And finally, clear coat.00:25:46
Howdy. I want to show the Bentley what00:25:48
will happen to it if it behaves, what's00:25:51
to come. So, let me actually this works00:25:54
quite well. That is a British car. This00:25:56
is a British product except that's all00:25:58
German underneath. But this is a British00:26:01
product. So, coming in. Vix and Surface00:26:03
Treatments Aqua Blast 1215 vapor00:26:06
blasting cabinet00:26:08
Bentley. Have a taste of this.00:26:15
What did you say? You like it? Okay.00:26:19
Me, too.00:26:31
>> [laughter]00:26:32
>> Ain't that beautiful? Here's the rebuild00:26:34
kit for the Audi A8 D3 rear calipers.00:26:37
Except it's the wrong one. I ordered a00:26:39
full rebuild kit, and I was sent a wrong00:26:41
one, not once, but twice. I ordered one00:26:44
that comes with everything, including00:26:46
these washers here, the needle bearings,00:26:48
this bushing here. And I received a00:26:50
basic kit that comes just with O-rings00:26:52
and a piston. But at the end of the day,00:26:54
this is what we need to get the car00:26:55
running. So, we're going to rebuild it00:26:56
with what we have. Also a refurbished00:26:58
caliper from TRW for Audi is available.00:27:01
€287 and it even comes with the EPB00:27:04
motor. The only thing you'd have to do00:27:06
is drill four holes here and add some00:27:08
threads and then then you can mount this00:27:10
cover. Otherwise, identical. So, you can00:27:12
go down that route as well if you want.00:27:14
The brake hose is Bentley specific, but00:27:17
it's NLA. I ordered one for the Audi and00:27:20
it's a little bit short, so it's not00:27:21
going to work. Then I did some digging00:27:23
and I found that E3800:27:25
brake hose will work. It's just a tad00:27:27
longer, but it'll fit just fine. First,00:27:30
the O-ring.00:27:36
Brake assembly paste from AT.00:27:41
First, two washers and needle bearings00:27:45
in the middle. Then the O-ring.00:27:49
Mount the cog.00:27:52
Pop this in. And I just hope that that00:27:54
bushing will seal.00:27:58
some assembly lube on the piston as00:28:00
well.00:28:06
Push the boot all the way down as first00:28:08
we need to clip it into the caliper like00:28:10
that. Can [snorts] mount the circlip.00:28:13
Oh, guess I forgot to mention that I00:28:14
also cleaned up the caliper in the Aqua00:28:17
Blast.00:28:21
This clip is a tight fit. I'm going to00:28:23
pour some brake fluid in there just to00:28:25
confirm it's no longer leaking. Forgot00:28:28
about the hole on the side. But it looks00:28:30
like the O-ring is holding up, which is00:28:32
good.00:28:35
Okay, that's confirmed. It's no longer00:28:37
leaking here from the O-ring. Now we can00:28:40
pop in the piston.00:28:43
So, first clip it in in the back where00:28:45
you can't see it and then the rest.00:28:49
All right.00:28:51
And that's fully clipped in. So, we can00:28:54
push the piston in, or at least as far00:28:56
as it'll go. Now, we should be able to00:28:58
retract it.00:29:02
So, make sure the boot is clipped in00:29:05
nicely all around.00:29:11
There you go. So, this is how the00:29:14
handbrake should work now. So, if the00:29:15
motor winds down this way, it'll push00:29:18
the piston out. [snorts]00:29:20
Can see it coming out. And then if it00:29:23
winds back should release the tension.00:29:27
We have an O-ring here.00:29:31
Let's do the bleed screw.00:29:34
[clears throat]00:29:35
That's the caliper done. The EPB00:29:38
electric parking brake is unfortunately00:29:40
not available from TRW. You can only buy00:29:42
Chinese replicas which are around €50 or00:29:45
so. I did order one to inspect it and it00:29:47
didn't arrive. So, I have to see if we00:29:49
can get this one to work, at least for00:29:51
now. But the housing is cracked and this00:29:53
was soaked in brake fluid. So, let me00:29:55
take it apart and see what's the state00:29:57
of it on the inside. This is probably00:29:59
glued together, isn't it? Yep. This00:30:01
cover is plastic welded on. There's no00:30:03
way to remove it. At least I don't see a00:30:05
way to remove it without breaking it.00:30:07
So, for now, we're going to leave it as00:30:08
is. Just going to sprit some alcohol in00:30:10
there, smush it around, and yeah, try00:30:13
try to clean it.00:30:16
You can see there's a belt inside00:30:18
driving this motor.00:30:21
Oh, this is better than Yeah, look at00:30:22
that. Brake fluid.00:30:29
This is a pretty neat system if you00:30:31
think about it. It eliminates so much00:30:33
hardware, parking brake, shoes, cables,00:30:37
the whole contraption with the springs.00:30:39
And as far as I've read, the system is00:30:42
actually pretty robust. But yeah, this00:30:45
can happen due to age and people not00:30:47
changing brake fluid.00:30:50
So because of the corrosion oxidation00:30:52
that was happening here, the housing00:30:54
expanded and cracked. Let's do brake00:30:58
line.00:31:04
A38 brake line. Get some BMW00:31:06
reliability.00:31:08
Nice. Let's mount the caliper and bleed00:31:11
the brakes.00:31:18
Top tip for all Bentley owners out00:31:20
there. E387 series brake hose fits00:31:23
perfectly.00:31:24
It curves all around the wishbones. It's00:31:26
not touching anything. It just kind of00:31:29
swoops all around and then connects to00:31:30
that line. €6 that brake hose and €2500:31:34
for the rebuilt kit.00:31:36
€31 to fix a brake leak. It's a Bentley00:31:40
man. €250,00000:31:42
brand new. And here we are fixing it for00:31:45
peanuts. Spent more on my coffee beans00:31:47
yesterday than I did in this.00:31:52
With this installed, the Bentley is now00:31:54
going to recognize this and say, "Hm,00:31:57
he's treating me well. I'm going to be00:31:59
good for him so he can treat the rest of00:32:02
me well." Yeah, wishful thinking. Let's00:32:04
add some brake fluid. Liquid Molly.4.00:32:17
Happy to report that the caliper is no00:32:20
longer leaking. So, let's bleed it. I'm00:32:22
not going to bleed the system all around00:32:24
cuz complete brakes need to be00:32:26
refurbished. So, it would be a waste of00:32:27
time to do it now cuz everything needs00:32:29
to be taken apart. Just not now. Now, we00:32:32
want to drive this thing.00:32:37
A lot of air in there.00:32:41
There it goes. I think that'll do it.00:32:44
The fluid is coming out bubble free.00:32:49
So, that's the brake fluid leak fixed00:32:52
for €3100:32:54
on a mentally.00:32:58
>> [clears throat]00:33:00
>> These wheels are positively ghly and00:33:04
we're definitely going to change them if00:33:05
we end up restoring this fine00:33:07
automobile. There's rust here. That's00:33:10
good.00:33:12
After a few days, the rear right corner00:33:14
goes down, which means that that air00:33:16
shock is leaking. Great. I want to00:33:19
quickly troubleshoot the airbag light.00:33:21
Got a code for the front driver's crash00:33:23
sensor. It's this thing here. Lives00:33:25
underneath of this cover. I already00:33:27
removed the bolts and this one looks00:33:29
really crispy. So, this is one on the00:33:31
passenger side. So, I'm thinking let's00:33:32
unplug this one. Connect this one here.00:33:35
And if the code goes away, then we know00:33:37
that the sensor is the issue. If it00:33:39
stays, then we have a problem with00:33:41
wiring and or control module. I think00:33:43
someone was already in here because the00:33:45
bolts are different than on the other00:33:46
side00:33:48
and they're loose. Yep.00:33:57
Cool. So, this one is actually cracked00:33:59
here. That bolt is rusty and they're00:34:02
different than on the other side. So,00:34:04
hopefully this is the issue cuz this00:34:07
will be cheap and easy to fix.00:34:10
There we go. I bought a VCDS00:34:14
cable, 300 European shillings, but it's00:34:17
very easy and simple to set up and use.00:34:20
I already tested it last night. So,00:34:22
fault codes. Let's clear the codes.00:34:25
Done. Yes, the code went away. It moved00:34:28
to the passenger side, which means the00:34:30
sensor is faulty. Cool. That's nice and00:34:33
easy. I also use this tool to calibrate00:34:35
the steering angle sensor. The traction00:34:37
control light was on because of that.00:34:39
And it went away. So, that's pretty00:34:41
pretty neat. Let's get the sensor off.00:34:44
This one is fully stripped.00:34:47
And this one is coming out.00:34:52
Great. I'm bending the whole thing. A sh00:34:57
That's why no one changed it. This is00:34:59
fully cooked. Let's dremel it off.00:35:11
There we are. Really rusty in there.00:35:16
So, this is what I want to break here.00:35:18
The bracket.00:35:21
Okay.00:35:25
[snorts]00:35:26
Nope. I'm going to have to cut it off00:35:28
and then drill it out. Otherwise, I'm00:35:30
going to ruin this bracket.00:35:33
Well, it's a jolly molly Christmas.00:35:41
There it is. That's why no one replaced00:35:44
that before. Pain in the butt.00:35:48
[snorts]00:35:53
Wow. Even the threads are still good.00:35:55
That's nice.00:36:05
[snorts]00:36:06
I forgot to press record, but I spray00:36:07
painted that matte black. Clear coat.00:36:09
The sensor didn't arrive yet, but I00:36:11
spent a whopping 650. No, is €6. Let's00:36:15
sort out the leaking CV axle boots.00:36:22
Look at those brakes. Massive caliper,00:36:24
massive rotor. All shot to bits. I don't00:36:27
know if Billstein is aftermarket or if00:36:30
this is original equipment. This says00:36:32
2019, I think. So, these were replaced00:36:35
in the front. Nice, man. The issue is00:36:37
rather simple. Someone didn't install00:36:39
this clamp properly and it came off. So,00:36:41
the grease is coming out and just00:36:44
spritzing everywhere. This one here is00:36:46
fine. Didn't come off. So, we need to00:36:48
clean this up. Maybe try and pump a bit00:36:50
of grease inside of the boot and put a00:36:52
new clamp. Let's remove the old clamp00:36:55
first.00:36:57
So, that's the clamp off. Now, I want to00:36:59
see if we can open up the boot just a00:37:02
little bit so I can stick my gun in00:37:04
there and put a bit more grease cuz00:37:07
obviously a bit of it came out.00:37:11
Uhhuh. We can do that. Perfect.00:37:16
So00:37:20
think my bottle isn't got more pogrigio.00:37:22
And this is penogrigia from liquid00:37:25
molly. Highest quality only.00:37:29
I think that's plenty. Now you got to00:37:32
find a fitting clamp. It's too small.00:37:34
This one surely.00:37:37
Oh, perfect match. And this is an00:37:40
original Waker clamp.00:37:44
There we go.00:37:47
Nice and tight.00:37:49
Clamp that someone used on here before00:37:51
wasn't genuine and it was too thin as00:37:54
well. Right now I'm going to clean up00:37:55
the area and then we'll monitor for00:37:57
leaks.00:38:01
Beautiful blue shocks. Nice and easy00:38:04
fix. Free as well. I'm tired of holding00:38:07
up the bonnet with a plank of wood. So,00:38:09
I got hood shocks.00:38:12
Placing hood shocks is the easiest thing00:38:14
in the world. You just pull on the clip,00:38:19
pull out the blown shock,00:38:21
let it roll down the shop.00:38:24
They come with new grease inside. So,00:38:26
wipe off the old stuff.00:38:32
Done. Sayanara to the plank of wood.00:38:36
Much better.00:38:40
Sorry. That's very smooth.00:38:48
See, it has the second shock to kind of00:38:51
slow it down and make it smooth when it00:38:53
opens. I like that.00:38:56
See?00:38:58
Very cool.00:39:01
got the upgraded part to fix the oil dip00:39:04
from the UK and since UK is no longer00:39:06
part of European Union I had to pay00:39:08
import duties and tax this was €12 so00:39:11
the tax was what 1 2 maybe €3 no it was00:39:16
10 cuz that makes sense German customs00:39:20
very good at taking your money let's get00:39:22
my ghetto fix out00:39:26
so the original part is made out of00:39:28
plastic and when it breaks And the oil00:39:30
dip is no longer sealing. You get00:39:32
misfires. So this is the upgraded part00:39:34
that I got from the UFK.00:39:37
Does it just slide on? I need to smack00:39:40
it on, I would imagine. So I'm going to00:39:42
proceed. Operation smacky smackerson.00:39:50
There it is fully seated. And as this is00:39:53
brass, we will never have this issue00:39:55
again. This is an aftermarket pipe.00:39:57
That's why it's touching the oil00:39:58
dipstick. And the dipstick now.00:40:04
Oh, clicks into place. Take it out. Just00:40:08
pull it out. That's a nice design for00:40:11
€12. That's a nice nice upgrade. Lastly,00:40:14
a genuine Volkswagen plug. This was00:40:17
€1.75.00:40:19
So, what we're going to do to stop00:40:21
potential rust happening there on the00:40:23
edges, I'm going to use cable grease00:40:25
sofet from Liqually. Spritz it inside of00:40:28
the grommet. Push it from below. And00:40:30
that's going to stop water penetrating00:40:32
that area and potentially having rust00:40:34
there again.00:40:37
Just like that. Now push this in from00:40:40
below.00:40:45
Like that. And actually we got to spray00:40:48
some cable grease inside here. So00:40:51
especially in here behind the leg where00:40:54
we couldn't remove the rust.00:40:58
It's exactly what you want to see00:41:01
coming in between the metal.00:41:04
That'll do it. We are ready to00:41:07
reassemble the interior. It is fully00:41:09
dry. First, I used a heater to dry the00:41:11
carpet cuz it was soaking wet. And then00:41:14
the entire time the dehumidifier was00:41:15
running. I think I've been drying this00:41:17
thing for about 2 weeks and it's fully00:41:18
dry. No more water. Also had to replace00:41:20
that bit of sanding over there because00:41:22
the water destroyed the old one. It came00:41:24
off. The rest is fixed. Let's start the00:41:26
reassembly process. This is the air00:41:28
distribution block that was swimming in00:41:30
water. We have electrical stuff on here.00:41:32
This connector is oxidized. There's rust00:41:34
coming out of this box here. Rust coming00:41:36
out of this hole. Obviously, it's not00:41:38
going to be good. And I was planning on00:41:40
opening this up, see if I can clean it,00:41:42
see if I can save it. But I'm not going00:41:44
to bother doing that because I bought a00:41:46
replacement used part. Now, this is an00:41:49
electrical box that is a Bentley that00:41:51
cost €235,000 back in the day. So, what00:41:55
do you think? How much does this00:41:56
contraption cost?00:41:58
€500? That would be reasonable for an00:42:00
expensive car like that. Well, it's not00:42:03
€300, €200,00:42:06
€100.00:42:08
Surely at least 50. Nope. Paid €20 ship00:42:12
for this thing because it's the exact00:42:14
same part that VW Faton uses. Exact same00:42:17
part number down to the letter. So, I'm00:42:19
just not going to waste any time on that00:42:21
old part. This is good. doesn't have any00:42:23
oxidation corrosion. It's just gonna00:42:25
work. And I really like this so far00:42:27
because everything underneath of this00:42:29
car is Volkswagen. I know there will be00:42:31
some Bentley specific parts, but so far00:42:34
cheap. Fixing this car cheap.00:42:38
So, the original connectors were all00:42:40
corroded. The replacement part came with00:42:43
connectors, so I soldered those in. So,00:42:45
we don't have to worry about that00:42:46
either.00:42:52
That's the interior back together. It00:42:54
needs to be taken apart completely and00:42:56
thoroughly cleaned because of the mold.00:42:58
But for now, to make it safe and to be00:43:00
able to drive, we are going to run an00:43:02
ozone generator for about 2 hours. This00:43:05
will kill all bacteria that currently00:43:07
reside in the Bentley. There it goes.00:43:09
Now, we're going to attempt to drive the00:43:10
Bentley for the first time. I'm going to00:43:12
pull it outside, let it run while I set00:43:15
up all of the cameras, and if it doesn't00:43:17
turn off, then we're going to set off on00:43:19
the maiden voyage. If it turns off,00:43:22
well, then it turns off.00:43:38
Right, it's been running well over 2000:43:40
minutes, so I think the attempt is on. I00:43:43
just got a scribble in my little diary00:43:45
here. 2:40 p.m.00:43:52
Smells like cheap perfume. [snorts]00:43:55
I need to wipe that off. Disgusting. Gon00:43:58
purify maintain. Disgusting, bro. And00:44:02
I'm thinking the steering wheel as well.00:44:03
We have to clean that. Yeah. And the00:44:06
shift knob.00:44:08
Okay, now we can go. This car was never00:44:11
smoked in. Look at this. Well, you00:44:13
probably can't see it cuz it's too dark,00:44:14
but this cigarette lighter was never00:44:16
used. I think first we're going to drive00:44:18
it around the block just to see if it'll00:44:20
stay running. And if yes, then we're00:44:22
going to hit the gas station. Look at me00:44:24
rolling in my Bentley. Steering is very00:44:27
light. The mirrors are super small.00:44:33
Officially on the row of my Bentley. I00:44:35
have a triangle. I have I think I have00:44:37
the tow hook and I have the safety vest00:44:40
in case we break down. And also I'm00:44:42
wearing a green hoodie to match the00:44:44
color of the Bentley for good luck. Oo,00:44:48
knocking in the front left. That's that00:44:50
stuff that we found earlier.00:44:58
Thought it turned off a second there.00:45:00
It's running so smooth. All right, let's00:45:02
go get fuel.00:45:10
Transmission shifts fine. It's actually00:45:12
really smooth. I'm floating. This is00:45:14
nice. Six-speed ZF automatic00:45:17
transmission.00:45:19
Let's try the brakes. Ooh.00:45:25
Oh, it sounds good. Sounds good.00:45:30
Feels like the front windows are tinted00:45:32
and the rear ones aren't. Are they?00:45:36
They are.00:45:39
Need to remove the tint. That's00:45:41
illegal in Germany.00:45:48
Oh, I like this engine. It's very00:45:50
important. Take the curve, hit the apex,00:45:54
end up in a bush00:45:56
cuz the tires are old.00:46:04
You know what? That engine pulls great.00:46:06
It actually drives really, really00:46:09
smooth. All right, time to get some fuel00:46:10
and then Oh, the brakes are not good.00:46:13
The brakes are really, really not good.00:46:18
Aha.00:46:20
What does it say? Whoa. We are00:46:23
overheating. Overheating. Overheating.00:46:25
Overheating. No.00:46:31
Oh,00:46:33
that's not good at all. Oh, we're00:46:35
steaming. [bell]00:46:37
We are steaming, man. Oh, no.00:46:44
Yeah, that's uh00:46:47
that's great. That's that's good. I'll00:46:51
bet you anything this isn't the first00:46:53
time that this happened. Just as it00:46:54
started going well, it turned around and00:46:57
went horribly wrong. This vehicle has an00:46:59
underlying issue that was undisclosed00:47:01
and we just learned about it by actually00:47:03
test driving the car. Stay on your toes00:47:05
for the next episode where we00:47:07
troubleshoot further and decide the fate00:47:09
of this car. Is it actually worth fixing00:47:11
or not? Thank you so much for watching.00:47:13
Happy New Year and I'll see you in 2026.00:47:16
