For anyone looking for the GT guide, this link works.

Not sure how up to date it is though? Doc is called BentleyGT_GTC_2016_10.pdf So I guess it was last updated october 2016?

Bypass it by joining the wires together. That should stop your alarm going off.

Thanks was hoping to strip it and fix if poss. Wanted to know what parts need to be dismantled as I am pretty sure you can fix these little micro switches or perhaps modify them?

Today's little success is fitting a switch so I can de-activate the exhaust flaps if I want to be loud. I did this once before on another car by breaking into the wiring at the engine ECUs (pin 18 on each bank ECU sends a signal to the vacuum solenoid for that bank's exhaust flap). On this car, I had already connected both flaps to a single vacuum solenoid (bank 1), so I ran a wire interrupting the signal to that solenoid from the back of the car to the interior switch - much easier than dismantling the ECU harnesses. I even engraved a Clef symbol in the button because, let's face it, opening those flaps does make the exhaust note musical when you're in the mood.

The video doesn't do a good job of differentiating the sound, but it works really well

However, I would be happy to email the 40 page PDF (2.2Mb), to anyone interested.

PMs are already sent to gliozzi and ExoticCarDriver.

Kind regards,

On my 2006 Flying Spur the Windshield washer squirter and the headlight squirters are very under powered. I'm guessing the pump might be tired. Any idea where the pump is located?

Hello ​​​​​​@TWL,
There are actually two pumps, one for the headlights, and the other for the windshield, so the low pressure on both in the same time frame may be the result of another issue.

If both are having low pressure issues, I would look at what type of fluid you are using in the tank, as I had issues some time back with my A8L W12, I was using the orange rain x, and not only did it slow down the flow, but it coated the level sensor with a film that kept the sensor from sensing fluid, so I had a constant "low washer fluid" warning, so I put some hot water in to flush the system and sensor, well it worked, but I found that I actually had the water a bit to hot, and melted the tank at a certain level, so I couldn't fill to the top, lesson learned.
Pumps are numbers 9 and 10, and the assembly is located in the passenger side front wheel well, you could try some warm water to flush, or disassemble and clean the screen/inlet on each pump.

Johnny
