Keeping a Volvo V90 Cross Country B6 Reliable in Phoenix
Arizona heat is the hardest test a Volvo will face. Batteries, belts, hoses, tires and engine oil all wear faster here, and a V90 Cross Country B6 that spends its life in stop-and-go Valley traffic needs maintenance earlier than the owner's manual's normal schedule suggests.
Our recommendation for V90 Cross Country B6 owners: follow the severe-service schedule, test the battery before every summer, inspect brakes and tires twice a year, and have any warning light diagnosed instead of ignored. If you are shopping for a used Volvo V90 Cross Country B6, a pre-purchase inspection shows what the paperwork does not.
