Bentley Continental GT, GTC & Flying Spur Rear Brake Pads 3W0698451J

This is a genuine Bentley rear brake pad set, part number 3W0698451J, for the Bentley Continental GT, Continental GTC and Flying Spur with standard iron brakes. Bentley has since superseded this number with the latest part number 3W0698451N, and this set also replaces the older numbers 3W0698451D, 3W0698451, 3D0698451, 3W5698451B and 3W5698451A. The set contains the pads for both rear wheels, fitted with anti-squeak shims on the backing plates.

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. 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 rear pads work with the front brakes and the electronic parking brake to stop a heavy, fast car smoothly and quietly. The friction material is matched to the Bentley iron rotors to give a consistent pedal feel and even rotor wear. Each pad measures 116.2mm wide, 58.6mm high and 17.5mm thick, for the TRW rear caliper.

The usual signs that the rear brake pads need replacing are the brake pad warning light on the dash, a squealing or grinding noise from the rear when braking, longer stopping distances and pads worn close to the backing plate. Rear brake pad replacement is a common service job on the Continental GT, and the rear rotors should be checked at the same time and replaced as a set if they are worn or scored.

The pads are prepared for the electronic wear sensor, which is not included and is sold separately. Rear brake pad replacement on these cars needs a diagnostic tool to put the electronic parking brake into service mode, so the caliper pistons retract safely before the old pads come out. Inspect the rear wear sensor wiring during the job, and replace the sensor if the wiring is frayed or heat-damaged, to avoid false brake wear warnings on the dash.
