All though I'm no fan of the FWD Volvos I note a rather large supply of, see subject line. All with warped heads not running but cheap. Being a better than average wrench spinner I'd ask. Why are these models constantly blowing head gasket then resulting in a warped head. Is this simply poor maintenance by owner,
water leaks , overheat problem? driver failing to observe needle on temp. gauge or is this a faulty design element? Help Please I'm Bill @ 1williamleland@gmail.com

Then expanding on this topic. Does the '99 V-90 RWD 6 CYLINDER WAGON HAVE LESS ISSUES? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SPEND EVERY WEEKEND IN THE GARAGE SPINNING WRENCHES.
I can't pony up for a new Volvo these lean days. I'm nursing my '91 turbo wagon along year after year, new engine, new trans, etc, etc.
