The heat exchanger and air cooler on any D6 should be cleaned and all the "O" rings should be changed, every 5 years to prevent overheating. Older D6 diesel engines may run on Volvo green coolant and newer ones may be using yellow VCS coolant. Please do not mix or change the coolant type once one or another has been used. If you are running on Volvo Penta green coolant, continue to use green coolant. Mixing yellow and green coolant can cause gelling and blockages within the cooling system.
