This kit has correct wheel lock adapter in it, so if anyone has the issue I ran into $70 for this set is probably cheaper than Bentley prices

I will have wheel off and do smoke test tomorrow. Had a very lengthy discussion with Jason Gianetti yesterday and he gave me some ideas of some things to check.

 

It passed smoke test with zero leaks. The secondary vacuum pump was tested and works as it should. I also gutted the 2nd cats so the exhaust flows more freely.
It has a full tank of 93 with a can of Seafoam in it.
No oil leakage at turbos.

So, now that y'all have all that data and the scans what's ur next guess on the cause of the surging?

 

Nevermind. Its got 5 codes now and is going back to the dealership. Junk!!

 

​​​​​​Hello @2009SpeedSpur ,
Which cats did you gut, the main cats with the 4 O2 sensors, or the secondary cats after the down pipes next to the resonators, if the 09 Speed even has secondary cats.

As far as the surging, I am thinking something to with turbo over-boost at high rpm, or wot, tell us when does this happen, and in what gear ?

I see that you just posted again, let me go read it,, but do tell me as to.the cats,, at that well lead to fault codes depending on which cats you did..

Edit: I now see "2nd", I didn't read that in my email just before, odd...

Latest scan

 

Driver's side (cylinders 7-12) EGT sensor is on order. So hopefully (as Jason G. advised) replacing this sensor fixes its issues.
I got stuck with the car so its up to me to fix it. I have however filed complaints with the Houston Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission. I have also left a nasty review on Google for Houston Direct Auto, and will be posting a very detailed YouTube video when its all said and done .

 

Concerning your comments about HDA their site shows a blue 2005 gt for sale. If you run the vin you will see where the car was for sale in Chicago and was white not blue.

 

​​​​​​Hello @ret09gt ,
I am in no way sticking up for HDA, as I believe by what they have done to @2009SpeedSpur to be the lowest of lows for any dealership... also by their many negative reviews.

But as to your comment, it's very obvious that the 2005 GT that you bring to question had a satin white wrap on the vehicle, as can be seen in the photos while at Gold Coast in Chicago as you reference... 🤔

This is upsetting to hear, has HDA now reneged on paying for any of the repairs, diagnostic cost, and or parts cost that came out of your pocket ?

Nothing surprises me with Houston Direct Auto. Straight liars and scammers.

 

Brother, they are flat out ignoring me now.. I have been going back and forth with those damn POS through the BBB site. They screwed me good. They refuse the return of the car and refuse to acknowledge the car had any problems. EGT sensor will be here by this Friday and will get it swapped out. The drains were all cleaned very good under cowl, but driver's side carpet is soaked from rain intrusion. See pic below for where it is coming in. Dripping down to dead pedal. How/where is this coming from and what is the fix?

 

Hello @2009SpeedSpur ,
Are you using the AC, do you hear any water swishing sounds, if the cowl drains are all clear, then I would check out the HVAC drains on each side of the transmission hump, these drains get clogged with debris and the condensation fills up in the ductwork and runs out on your feet, this link is for an Audi D3 A8L but is the same for the Bentley.

Some pictures for location reference.

The car is not being driven at all, so zero use of the HVAC. The water intrusion is just from the hard rain and the car sitting in the driveway.

 

Oh crap, yet the cowl has no standing water in it ?

Original windshield or leaking replacement.

Sunroof ?

Yeah, my first post

I deal with water / air leaks quite often as well. I utilize an Ultrasonic leak detector, they are not expensive and can be purchased on Amazon, although I did invest in a higher-end one for myself.
What you do is place the compact transmitter inside the car. Shut all doors and windows and run the main unit around the circumference of the vehicle. When it picks up the frequency of the transmitter (the actual suspect leak area) it projects an audible sound. They work well.

You can also use a flashlight in complete darkness. It won't find leaks in the windshield although it will find leaks around the footwell area if you shine it from the outside in, or visa versa.
