Why Choose Engine Finders for Your Bentley Continental GT Engine?

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.

  • ✔ Continental GT-Specific Timing Chain Solutions

    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.

  • ✔ Continental GT EGR System Expertise

    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.

  • ✔ B47D20A Injector Calibration for Continental GT

    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.

  • ✔ W12-Specific Oil Consumption Fixes

    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.

  • ✔ Turbocharger Compatibility for V8 Continental GT

    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.

  • ✔ Continental GT Engine Mount Integration

    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.

  • ✔ Post-2020 AdBlue System Readiness

    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.

  • ✔ Continental GT Wiring Loom Compatibility

    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.

Bentley Continental GT Engines for Sale | Engine Finders

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.

Bentley Continental GT Replacement Engines

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.

Bentley Continental GT Models & Engines Codes

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.

  • BR6: 6.0L W12 (Gen I, 2003-2010) - known for head gasket failure under repeated high-load use; requires updated MLS gaskets (OEM 070115271D)
  • AWD: 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (Gen II, 2011-2018) - timing chain tensioner wear (OEM 07119556893) prevalent in pre-2015 units
  • CRB: 6.0L W12 (Gen III, 2018-present) - enhanced thermal management but susceptible to PCV valve coking in stop-start urban use
  • DTA: 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (Gen III Speed/Supersports, 2019-present) - reinforced internals but higher oil consumption due to aggressive VANOS mapping
  • HYB: Hybrid-ready V8/W12 blocks (Gen III, 2021-present) - require ECU recalibration for non-hybrid swaps
  • Supersports W12: High-output BR6 variant (2017-2018) - unique forged pistons and strengthened con rods; incompatible with standard W12 ECUs

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.

Buy Used and Second-Hand Bentley Continental GT Engines

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.

  • Used: Mileage-verified units with compression reports; ideal for Gen III CRB with low urban use
  • Reconditioned: Fully rebuilt with updated tensioners (OEM 07119556893) and MLS gaskets - essential for Gen II AWD V8s
  • Remanufactured: Factory-spec restoration including hybrid-compatible wiring looms for Gen III HYB blocks

All reconditioned engines for the Continental GT include recalibrated throttle bodies and updated PCV systems to match generation-specific emissions standards.
