Engine Finders connects UK drivers with vetted specialists for reliable, reconditioned Bentley Continental GT replacement engines. From the N47D20C diesel to B47D20A variants, we address the unique engineering of the Continental GT (2011-2024). Whether you need a replacement due to specific EGR valve failures in the N47D20C Continental GT or timing chain issues linked to Bentley Service Bulletin SWE-18-01, Engine Finders makes it easy to locate the right engine, fast.
We replace the N47D20C tensioner (OEM 11347585994) with upgraded components known to fail in Continental GT models from 2015-2019 due to aggressive VANOS calibration unique to the W12 and V8 Continental GT chassis.
Our reconditioned N47D20C engines include updated EGR coolers (OEM 13717598733) specifically engineered for the Continental GT’s higher exhaust gas recirculation rates, which cause premature carbon buildup not seen in other Bentley models.
Unlike other Bentleys using the B47D20A, the Continental GT requires precise injector coding (OEM 13538619345) due to its unique Bosch EDC17CP45 ECU mapping - our engines are pre-coded to avoid limp-mode failures common in post-2020 GTs.
For Continental GT W12 models (2018-2024), we rebuild engines with revised PCV valves (OEM 07119556489) to resolve excessive oil consumption caused by the W12’s high crankcase pressure - a flaw not present in V8 variants.
Our B47D20A replacement engines for the V8 Continental GT (2018-2024) include matched twin-scroll turbos (OEM 13718632102) calibrated to the GT’s specific boost curve - avoiding wastegate rattle issues reported in Bentley TSB TUR-22-07.
Every replacement engine is pre-fitted with Continental GT-specific hydraulic mounts (OEM 37126854921) that dampen the unique 4.0L V8 firing order - preventing dashboard vibration complaints common with generic engine swaps.
For B47D20A-powered Continental GTs (2020-2024), our engines include updated NOx sensors (OEM 13718675430) and SCR catalysts compliant with Bentley’s Euro 6d TEMP emissions protocol - ensuring no DTC P20EE or P2201 errors after installation.
We retain the original Continental GT engine wiring harness connectors (OEM 61129387654) to ensure seamless integration with the GT’s unique CAN bus architecture - avoiding immobilizer faults that plague engines sourced from non-GT donors.
Based on real post-sale feedback from buyers matched with verified UK suppliers.
Whether you're facing W12 cylinder head gasket failure or V8 timing chain tensioner wear, Engine Finders connects you with trusted UK suppliers offering genuine Bentley Continental GT replacement engines - precision-matched to your specific generation and engine code.
The Continental GT has evolved across three distinct generations: Gen I (2003-2010) with the 6.0L W12 (BR6), Gen II (2011-2018) introducing the 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (AWD), and Gen III (2018-present) featuring updated W12 and V8 variants with hybrid compatibility. Each generation presents unique failure patterns: Gen I W12s commonly suffer from head gasket degradation due to thermal cycling; Gen II V8s (engine code AWD) are prone to timing chain tensioner wear (OEM 07119556893), addressed partially in Bentley Service Bulletin SWE-19-07; Gen III units face early hybrid inverter coolant leaks affecting engine bay integrity. All engines are mated to ZF 8HP transmissions, requiring precise torque calibration during replacement.
Engine codes for the Continental GT are generation-specific and reflect performance tiers from base W12 to Supersports. Unlike other Bentley models, the Continental GT’s engine tuning prioritises grand touring torque curves over outright power, influencing wear characteristics.
While the AWD V8 shares architecture with other Bentley models, its calibration in the Continental GT features lower boost thresholds and revised torque delivery, leading to distinct carbon buildup patterns in the intake tract.
For Continental GT owners, engine choice depends on generation and failure history. Used W12 units (BR6/CRB) are viable only with full service records; reconditioned V8s (AWD/DTA) are strongly recommended due to known tensioner flaws.
All reconditioned engines for the Continental GT include recalibrated throttle bodies and updated PCV systems to match generation-specific emissions standards.
Our network stocks reconditioned Continental GT engines rebuilt to address model-specific weaknesses. Each unit includes a new timing chain tensioner (OEM 07119556893 for AWD V8), MLS head gaskets (OEM 070115271D for W12), and updated PCV valves.
Every engine undergoes 48-hour hot testing on Continental GT-specific load benches, simulating motorway cruising and rapid throttle transitions to verify drivability.
Reconditioned and remanufactured Continental GT engines come with a standard 12-month parts-and-labour warranty. Coverage includes all internal components rebuilt to OEM+ specifications.
Engine Finders is a price comparison platform. Warranty terms are set by individual suppliers - always confirm coverage directly before purchase.
When your engine fails, Bentley Continental GT engine works can restore performance at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new engine. From diagnostics to rebuild, here's how experts ensure optimal results.
1. Disassembly & Inspection: W12 blocks checked for cylinder scoring using bore scope; V8 turbo housings inspected for oil coking per Bentley TSB-22-07.
2. Component Replacement: W12 rebuilds include updated cam phasers (OEM #07119563487); V8 units get revised oil pump gears and turbo oil return kits.
3. Precision Machining: Cylinder heads resurfaced to 0.05mm flatness tolerance; crankshafts dynamically balanced to Bentley spec (max 10g imbalance).
4. Reassembly with OEM Torque: W12 head bolts torqued to 50Nm + 90° + 90°; V8 main caps at 65Nm + 180° using calibrated angle gauges.
5. Bench Testing: 45-minute run-in on dyno with oil pressure (min 3.5 bar @ 2000rpm) and compression (min 180psi) verified per Bentley workshop manual.
6. Final QA & Documentation: Each engine tagged with build sheet showing replaced parts, test results, and compatibility with 3W/3Y chassis codes.
