What we do
Aston Martin Engine Repair in Abu Dhabi
An engine fault is diagnosed before it is quoted. Compression and leak-down figures, live data and a physical inspection decide whether the answer is a repair, a top-end job or a rebuild.
Read MoreShow Less
Fault Diagnosis
Stored and live data read with AMDS, then checked against what the engine is physically doing.
Compression and Leak-Down Testing
The measurement that separates a worn cylinder from a leaking valve or a head gasket.
Timing System Inspection
Chains, tensioners and guides checked for stretch and wear before they let go.
Cooling System Repair
Thermostats, water pumps, radiators and hoses, which is where overheating usually starts.
Oil Leak Tracing
The leak found at its source rather than cleaned off and handed back.
Gasket and Seal Replacement
Head gaskets, covers and housings, resealed to the correct torque and sequence.
Turbocharger Work
Inspection, actuator testing and replacement where the turbo is the fault.
Injector and Fuel System
Testing, cleaning and replacement when the misfire is fuel rather than spark.
Top-End Overhaul
Head removal, valve work and reassembly where the wear is above the block.
Full Rebuild
Bearings, rings and machining, for an engine worth putting back rather than replacing.
Post-Repair Testing
Road test and a second scan, because a cleared code is not a completed repair.
What we see on these cars
Known Aston Martin Engine Faults We See
The naturally aspirated V8 and V12 are strong engines used hard, and what arrives is mostly ignition, cooling and the consequences of long intervals.
Coil Packs and Plugs
A misfire on a V12 means twelve of each to consider. It is very often ignition, and establishing that first avoids a great deal of unnecessary work.
Timing Chain and Tensioners
A rattle on cold start is the warning worth acting on rather than monitoring, particularly where service history is thin.
Cooling System Components
Plastic housings, the thermostat and the water pump heat-age. In this climate they behave as wear items.
Exhaust Manifold Cracking
Heat cycling cracks manifolds, giving a tick that imitates a valvetrain fault convincingly.
Oil Leaks From Covers
Cam covers and housings weep with age, giving an oil smell through the vents before anything reaches the floor.
Throttle and Idle Faults
On these engines a rough idle is frequently an air leak or a throttle body issue rather than anything internal.
Catalytic Converter Heat Damage
Sustained heat and a misfire together damage catalysts, which is one more reason to act on a misfire early.
Sensor Faults Imitating Failures
A failed sensor imitates a serious fault convincingly. Reading live data first is what separates them.
How it works
How an Aston Martin Engine Repair Runs
Four stages, and you approve the cost before anything is dismantled.
1. Diagnosis
Codes, live data and a physical inspection, so the fault is identified rather than guessed.
2. Written Quote
What is wrong, what it takes to fix, and what it costs, before any work starts.
3. The Repair
Carried out to the manufacturer procedure, on OEM or OEM-equivalent parts.
4. Test and Handover
Road tested, rescanned and returned with the fault confirmed gone.
Why owners pick us
What You Get Back
A Diagnosed Fault
You are told what failed and why, not handed a list of replaced parts.
Correct Parts
OEM or OEM-equivalent, matched to your engine variant rather than the model name.
Proper Torque and Sequence
Engine work fails at reassembly as often as at diagnosis.
A Quote You Approved
Nothing is dismantled before you have agreed to the cost of it.
Tested Before Handover
Road test and a second scan, so the repair is confirmed rather than assumed.
Dealership Alternative
Main-dealer procedure and equipment without main-dealer pricing.

Warning signs
When an Aston Martin Engine Needs Attention
None of these improves by being driven on. The earlier one is looked at, the smaller the job.
Knocking or Ticking
A metallic knock under load, or a tick that follows engine speed.
Blue or White Smoke
Oil or coolant reaching the combustion chamber.
Losing Coolant
No visible leak and the level still drops, which points inward.
Overheating
The gauge climbing in traffic, or after a long run.
Rough Idle or Misfire
Shaking at a standstill, or a stumble under acceleration.
Oil Consumption
Topping up between services on an engine that used not to need it.
Warning Light
A check engine light is a stored fault code waiting to be read.
Power Loss
The car feeling flat where it used to pull.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Diagnose an Aston Martin Engine Fault?
Stored and live data read with AMDS, then compression and leak-down testing where the symptom calls for it. The scan narrows it; the measurement confirms it. A repair quoted off a code alone is a guess.
Repair, Overhaul or Replace?
It depends on where the wear is. A leaking gasket or a failed tensioner is a repair. Wear above the block is a top-end job. Bearing or bore wear is a rebuild, and on some engines a good used unit is the better value. We will tell you which, with the figures behind it.
Do You Use Genuine Aston Martin Parts?
OEM or OEM-equivalent parts, chosen for the engine variant rather than the model name. Where a genuine part is the only sensible option we say so.
How Long Does Engine Work Take?
Diagnosis is usually the same visit. A repair depends on what it is and on parts availability, and you get a time with the quote rather than after it.
Will a Cleared Warning Light Mean It Is Fixed?
No. Clearing a code only removes the message. The car is rescanned after a road test, so the fault is confirmed gone rather than merely silent.
My V12 Is Misfiring. Is This Expensive?
Not necessarily, and it is worth knowing that before assuming the worst. On these engines a misfire is very often a coil or a plug, and it is quick to identify which cylinder and why. The expensive outcome comes from driving on it, because an untreated misfire damages catalysts.
