Engine Manufacturer
Aston Martin
Engine Model
AM29
Engine Number of Cylinders
12
Engine Power (kW)
411.6

Problems:

Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, such as the AM29, often have complex seals and gaskets which can wear out, leading to oil leaks.
Timing chain tensioner issues
The timing chain tensioner can become weak or fail, causing improper timing and potential engine damage.
Cooling system problems
High-performance engines like the AM29 can suffer from overheating issues if the cooling system is not maintained properly.
Spark plug fouling
With 12 cylinders, there is a higher chance for spark plug fouling, leading to misfires and reduced performance.
Fuel injector problems
Direct fuel injection systems in high-performance engines can suffer from clogging or failure, leading to poor engine performance.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can reduce airflow and engine efficiency.
Sensor failures
High-tech engines have numerous sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, MAF sensors) that can fail and cause the engine to run poorly.
Exhaust system issues
The complexity of the exhaust system in V12 engines can lead to issues such as exhaust leaks or catalytic converter failures.
Vacuum leaks
The numerous hoses and seals in a V12 engine can develop vacuum leaks, leading to rough idling and performance issues.

Other Engine Info
Transmission: ASM/SSM (sportshift)

Problems:

Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, including Aston Martin's AM15, are prone to oil leaks due to the complex arrangement of components and gaskets.
Cooling issues
The V8 configuration can sometimes suffer from uneven cooling, leading to overheating in one bank of cylinders.
Timing chain wear
The timing chain can wear out prematurely, causing issues with engine timing and performance.
Spark plug fouling
V8 engines, especially in performance cars, can experience fouling of the spark plugs due to rich fuel mixtures.
Fuel injector problems
High-performance engines like the AM15 may face issues with fuel injectors getting clogged or failing.
Transmission issues
The ASM/SSM (sportshift) transmission can sometimes be unreliable, leading to shifting problems and potential transmission failure.
Exhaust manifold cracks
High-performance V8 engines can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold due to high operating temperatures.
Vacuum leaks
The complexity of the V8 intake system can lead to vacuum leaks, which can affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Engine mount failure
The higher power output and vibration of the V8 engine can lead to premature failure of engine mounts.
Misfires
V8 engines are susceptible to misfires, which can be caused by ignition coil failures, fuel issues, or vacuum leaks.
ASTON MARTIN V8 Vantage 2016

The 2016 Aston Martin V8 Vantage is a stylish 2-door hatchback powered by a robust 4.7L V8 engine generating 320.77 kW. Designed for the U.S., Canada, and Mexico markets, this luxurious car features a manual 6-speed transmission, ensuring an exhilarating driving experience. With advanced safety features including front and side airbags, and pretensioners, it combines performance with security. Built in Gaydon, UK, this model epitomizes Aston Martin's legacy of elegance and power.

Spec:

Engine Manufacturer
Aston Martin
Engine Model
AM15
Engine Number of Cylinders
8
Engine Power (kW)
320.77

Problems:

Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, including those from Aston Martin, often experience oil leaks due to gasket failures or worn seals.
Misfires
The Aston Martin V8 engines can sometimes suffer from misfires caused by ignition coil failures or spark plug issues.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain in the AM15 engine may stretch or wear, leading to poor engine performance or even failure.
Cooling system problems
V8 engines can generate a significant amount of heat, which can lead to cooling system issues, such as radiator or water pump failures.
Fuel injector issues
Fuel injectors in the AM15 engine may become clogged or fail, leading to poor fuel delivery and engine performance.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines like the AM15 can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, causing rough idling and reduced power.
Sensor failures
Various engine sensors, such as the oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor, may fail, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture and poor engine performance.
Exhaust system problems
The V8 Vantage may experience exhaust system issues, such as catalytic converter failures or exhaust leaks, affecting emissions and performance.
Excessive engine vibration
Issues with engine mounts or the harmonic balancer can lead to excessive engine vibration, affecting overall driving comfort and engine longevity.
Battery and electrical issues
Electrical problems, such as battery drain or alternator failures, can affect the performance of the engine and vehicle systems.
