[s-cars] Preparing for next timing belt change

[Tom Green]

If this is the only URS timing belt change you intend to make, perhaps
stockpiling any extra parts doesn't make sense.  And you can't replace  
the
S6 fan bearing alone. You have to replace the entire $400 bracket, so  
that
kinda throws that out the window.

If you have other vehicles to consider for the parts, the vibration  
damper
and/or toothed belt pulley (with the weak key) could be considered for
pre-purchase.  Especially so if you would have to pay overnight shipping
because you must have the vehicle completed.
