"Transmission Service Urgent", replace valve body or rebuild?

My 2000 volvo s80 2.9 (110k miles) got "Transmission Service Urgent" message when I tried to accelerate the other day and "Check engine" light is on as well. I feel the car is vibrating from time to time. I went to my local Volvo dealer last week. They told me valve body is bad. ...

2000 S802.9 When to change brakes?

Hi Guys, I got my 2000 volvo s80 6 years ago at 55k mileage, and now it's 90k mileage. I haven't never changed brakes, just wonder when is the right time to change brakes? at what mileage? should I change four of them all together?

Thanks a bunch!

2000 S80 85K mileage, need to change timing belt&water pump?

Re: 2000 S80 beeping after locked, dealer said "Siren Fault"

thanks a lot for the response, jbrown122.

Do I need a new siren, or just need to change the battery inside the siren?

If I need to replace a new siren, do I need to reset the software? I cannot set the software
by myself, right?

thanks a lot!

2000 S80 beeping after locked, dealer said "Siren Fault"

Thanks for reading, 2000 S80, it starts beeping after I lock it, it's the siren beeping in a low volume. Dealer said its "Siren Fault", cost $450 to repair it. I was wondering, is there anyway I could repair it by myself? Do I need a new siren or what? Any suggestions will be appreciated!!...
