Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a check engine light diagnostic cost for a 2013 Bentley Continental Flying Spur?

• Typical diagnostic scans at our dealership begin with a thorough computer scan and visual inspection; initial diagnostics generally range from $100–$200 depending on complexity.
• If additional tests or road diagnostics are required, we will provide a clear estimate before any work proceeds.
• We often provide lower total cost than independent shops thanks to efficient factory procedures, OEM parts pricing, and factory-trained technicians.
• Immediate savings come from accurate diagnostics that avoid unnecessary parts replacement; long-term savings come from OEM repairs that protect resale value and avoid repeat visits.
• Note: any warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure proper documentation.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2013 Bentley Continental Flying Spur?

• A check engine light can indicate anything from a minor emissions issue to a serious engine or sensor failure; common triggers include misfires, oxygen sensor faults, EVAP leaks, or catalytic efficiency problems.
• Because the 2013 Continental Flying Spur is a high-performance, twin-turbo W12, issues related to ignition coils, fuel trim, or turbo sensors can be more likely and should be diagnosed promptly.
• Ignoring the light can lead to increased fuel use, emissions failure, and more expensive component damage over time.
• Our factory-trained technicians use OEM-level diagnostics to identify the exact cause and provide a cost-effective, warranty-compliant repair plan.

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Start with a basic scan for trouble codes to pinpoint the system or sensor at fault; this is the fastest way to narrow down causes.
• Simple checks include ensuring the fuel cap is secure and observing driving symptoms (loss of power, rough idle, or unusual noises).
• For complex high-performance engines like the 2013 Continental Flying Spur, proceed to professional scanning—DIY resets can mask ongoing damage.
• Bring the vehicle to our service team for a fast, accurate diagnosis; repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage.

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2013 Bentley Continental Flying Spur?

• Common causes include ignition misfires (spark plugs or coils), oxygen sensor failures, EVAP system leaks, or catalytic converter efficiency faults.
• High-performance, twin-turbo V12/W12 systems may also trigger codes related to turbocharger sensors or fuel trim irregularities.
• Because many root causes share similar symptoms, accurate code reading and targeted testing keep repair costs down and prevent misdiagnosis.
• Choosing certified dealership service ensures OEM parts, factory-trained technicians, and warranty protection for covered repairs.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Simple diagnostics and minor repairs can often be completed in 1–3 hours, depending on parts availability and the required tests.
• If deeper engine or emissions work is needed, or parts must be ordered, the timeframe extends; we provide clear estimates and timelines before work begins.
• Our service process is optimized to minimize downtime while ensuring thorough, OEM-quality repairs that reduce the likelihood of repeat visits.
• Warranty repairs performed at our certified dealership are scheduled and documented to protect coverage and deliver long-term savings.
