Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, particularly those from luxury manufacturers like Aston Martin, may develop oil leaks due to gasket or seal issues.
Timing chain problems
The timing chain in the AM08 engine can wear out or become loose, leading to poor engine performance or serious engine damage if not addressed.
Misfiring cylinders
With 12 cylinders, the AM08 engine may experience misfiring issues, which can be caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or injectors.
Cooling system failures
High-performance engines such as the AM08 can face cooling system problems, leading to overheating if the radiator, water pump, or thermostat fails.
Fuel injector issues
Fuel injectors in the AM08 engine may get clogged or fail, causing poor fuel economy and engine performance.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines like the AM08 can experience carbon buildup on valves, leading to reduced power and efficiency.
Electrical problems
The complex electrical systems in the DBS can lead to issues with sensors and engine management systems, causing performance problems.
Exhaust system failures
The exhaust system, including catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, can fail or get clogged, impacting emissions and engine performance.
Wear and tear on moving parts
The high-revving nature of the AM08 engine can lead to accelerated wear on moving parts such as pistons, bearings, and camshafts.
