Bentley Continental GT, GTC & Flying Spur Brake Pads, Front Set 3W0698151AA

These are genuine Bentley Continental GT brake pads for the front axle, part number 3W0698151AA, for the Continental GT, Continental GTC and Flying Spur with standard iron brakes. 3W0698151AA is the latest part number, and it replaces the older numbers 3W0698151R, 3W0698151B, 3W0698151A, 3W0698151P, 3W0698151, 3D0698151A and 3D0698151. The set contains the brake pads for both front wheels.

The pads fit the Continental GT coupe from 2004 to 2017, the Continental GTC convertible from 2007 to 2017 and the Flying Spur sedan from 2005 to 2019, with both the W12 and V8 engines. They are made for cars with the standard iron brake rotors and do not fit cars with the carbon ceramic brake option, which use their own carbon ceramic pads.

The front brakes do most of the work of stopping a car this heavy and this fast, so the front pads wear faster than the rear. The friction material is matched to the Bentley iron rotors to give strong, quiet braking and a consistent pedal feel in city traffic and at highway speed, without wearing the rotors unevenly.

The usual signs that the front brake pads need replacing are the brake pad warning light on the dash, a squealing or grinding noise from the front when braking, a vibration through the steering wheel or brake pedal, longer stopping distances and pads worn close to the backing plate. During a front brake pad replacement, check the front rotors at the same time, and replace them as a set if they are worn below their minimum thickness, scored or lipped at the edge.

Before fitting, clean the brake dust from the caliper carriers and apply a thin coat of high-temperature brake grease to the pad guide surfaces only, never to the friction material. One pad in the set carries the wear indicator, and it fits in the inner position on the right-hand front caliper. Check the wear sensor wiring while the wheels are off, and bed in the new pads with several moderate stops before any hard braking.
