G29 Bentley Manual?

eek142 · 09-24-2023, 12:21 PM

Long-time E46 owner and DIY'er. Would prefer to do my own Z maintenance rather than waste time at the dealer.

Is there a Bentley manual or service manual available for the G29 anywhere?

Do you have any experience with the quality of that manual?

No, it was the only one I could find when I was looking for the same recently.

I tried to buy one fromrepair,amualnow.com. After I gladly paid $119 via PayPal I got a link which wouldn't open. Scroll down and the website says if not selected to receive a CD or a SD card, default selection is online download. But I couldn't find where to select cd/sdcard option so I got the link for a download that wouldn't open.. I called the website 1 888 575 8551. Supposed to be to a location in Minnesota but is an incomplete MN address. I called the number and got an answer in German. Going to email them now at support@repairmanualnow.com. Suspect it is in Germany,not MN I'll keep you updated.

That doesn’t sound sketchy at all

Hopefully they're able to sort you out. The link not working is a very rookie mistake.

Does anyone have a G29 oil change DIY? Want to make sure I have all the torque specs right.

I don't have a G29 procedure, but the G05 procedure for the B58 engine specs the oil filter cap and drain plug torque at 25 Nm.

I thought they were putting a manual gearbox in a Bentley using the one they are going to (allegedly) use in the G29...

I reported it as spam, looks like it's gone.

On topic, it would be interesting to have a repair manual. What I've done with my last car was to think of a few jobs I had coming up (water pump, brakes, belts, etc.) and signed up for the official TIS for a day. Then I basically grabbed the stuff I needed for future use. Hmm that might not fit their terms but - it was worth it at least, to pay for a day.
