Continental GT AC just gave up on me in the middle of Sharjah and I’m starting to think this car hates me personally
I’ve had my 2007 Continental GT for about two years now and I’ve put up with the occasional electrical gremlin and the fuel bills that make me wince every time I pass an ADNOC but today really tested my patience, I was sitting in the afternoon crawl on Al Wahda Road with the AC blasting and suddenly there was this faint pop sound from somewhere deep in the dashboard and then the vents just started pushing out air that was the exact same temperature as the outside world and I had to roll down the windows and let everyone at the traffic light watch me sweat through my shirt in a car that cost more than some people’s apartments. The weird thing is the fan still works fine and I can hear the compressor clicking on when I press the AC button but there’s zero cooling happening and I’m really hoping it’s just a blown hose or a failed expansion valve and not the compressor itself because I’ve heard that if these compressors grenade internally they send metal shavings through the whole system and then you’re looking at a repair bill that rivals a small sedan. I’ve been trying to find a Bentley AC Certified Workshop in Sharjah that actually knows these Continental GTs and won’t just charge me a fortune to guess at the problem, because I really don’t want to flatbed this thing all the way to the dealer in Dubai just to be told I need a new evaporator and have them pull the entire dashboard apart for a job that might just be a simple leak at one of the Schrader valves. Anyone on this side of the creek ever had a sudden total AC failure on a Conti GT and found a shop that actually diagnosed it right the first time without charging Bentley money for what turned out to be a relatively minor fix.
