I'm a big Volvo man myself but the 75/ZT is a lovely thing to own......honest. Quite rare for a V6 to suffer HGF it's usually the 1.8 but V6s can lose their water via a ctracked stat housing & eventually get cooked & then you do get gasket trouble but a well serviced V6 should last a good long while, mine's a diesel so you only get the ususal common rail diesel issues you get with owt else like leakback etc but hey it's a jarman lump so blame them
