Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines, particularly those in high-performance vehicles like the Aston Martin AM16, can be prone to oil leaks due to the complex gasket and sealing systems required for the V-configuration.

Cooling system issues

The V12 engine generates a significant amount of heat, and the cooling system must be in top condition to manage this heat. Issues can include radiator leaks, failing water pumps, or clogged coolant passages.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain in the V12 engine may stretch or wear out, leading to improper timing and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Fuel injector problems

With twelve cylinders, the fuel injection system has many components that can fail or become clogged, leading to misfires and performance issues.

Spark plug wear

With twelve spark plugs to maintain, the likelihood of one or more failing increases, which can cause misfires and reduced engine efficiency.

Exhaust manifold cracks

High-performance V12 engines can generate extreme exhaust temperatures, which can cause the exhaust manifold to crack over time.

Complex maintenance

The intricate design of the V12 engine can lead to higher maintenance complexity and costs, as accessing certain engine components may require significant disassembly.

Sensor failures

The advanced electronics and numerous sensors in a high-end engine like the AM16 can fail, leading to issues with engine management and performance.
