Put a check on that feeling for now. This particular model
engine has a
history of beeping because the computer gets confused with the
alternator. There is actually nothing wrong except the beeping.
Volvo engineers and many good mechanics have not figured it out completely. Sometimes it is
solved by a new computer (expensive), sometimes by a new
control panel (expensive), sometimes by moving the sense wire or
cleaning up a ground connection (cheap).
But don't use this as a vehicle for feeling less ready - there will be lots of real ones of those to come yet
I haven't gotten through them all yet...
