I just want to caution you. Please do not go to your dealer for parts. Obviously, you want to go there to get your basic maintenance taken care of and that should be just fine. But for more serious servicing you should stay as far away from your dealer as humanly possible. At least as far as your TDI car parts are concerned. Many dealers actually mark up their prices by as much as 300%, and will let you pay the price without batting an eye.
We can use recycled and reusable auto spares. These do not cause any problem, if you install them in the right car. But, some spares might vary from one car model to another.

Also if you check around the online stores you can often find the part you are looking for on special at a really discounted price.
What the heck is a timing belt? My advice. Replace your motors timing belt about when the car has reach 75,000 miles. Cost: under $250. A motors timing belt turns the motors cam shaft, which make the valves open and close, to let fuel in and exhaust out. After so many millions of flexing actions, the belts internal steel strands weaken. If the belt breaks, on some motors, the valves will stay open - instead of closing, causing the piston to smack into the valve with a sledge hammer hit - a damage that can cost over $2000 to repair. Not all motors need this service, but its wise on your part to check your car manual, or have a mechanic look to see if your motor has timing belt, or not. And of course, replace it every 4-5 years or 75,000 miles.
As with anything, take a look at items you are ready to get rid of and decide if there is anything you can donate or repurpose. The tire once used on your truck could make a nice tire swing or a boundary for a flower garden, for example.

This is one of the most common uses for recycled tires. If you have a small vegetable plot or want to add some new flowerbeds to your landscaping, an old tire could be just what you need. Because the tire absorbs a lot of heat during the day, it makes an ideal environment for seedlings to grow. During the winter months, the tires can easily be covered to protect young plants from the cold.
