What is a spare part may be one of the questions for you who are still unfamiliar with the automotive world. To learn about motor vehicle spare parts and their types, you can directly refer to the complete review below. 

Understanding Spare Parts 

The term spare part is certainly something you have heard very often. But what exactly is a spare part? Referring to the Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language (KBBI), a spare part is a component that is a part of an object.

So spare parts in the automotive world are tools that are part of the engine. Spare parts can also be defined as machine components that can be reserved for repairing damaged machine components. 

In terms of functionality, spare parts or components, which can also be referred to as spare parts, have their own functions, but there are also those whose operation is related to other spare parts. Thus, if one spare part component is damaged, it will greatly affect the performance of other spare parts. 

Yes, spare parts can wear out over time and with use, therefore you as a motor vehicle owner, including four-wheeled vehicles or cars, must be able to maintain the vehicle properly. One way to do this is by regularly servicing the car at a workshop or official service center.

Types of Spare Parts

If your vehicle's spare part is damaged, for example, if the car spare part is damaged, you can replace it with a new one. It is important to know that there are several types of spare parts to choose from. Therefore, after knowing what a spare part is, you also need to know its types, so you can choose the right spare part. Here are some of the types. 

1. Original

First, there is the original or genuine part. This original product is also referred to as Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). OEM is a term that indicates that the spare part product is a spare part or component from the original manufacturer. 

It should also be noted that there are original products that are indeed produced by the vehicle manufacturer and there are also those produced by other companies appointed by the vehicle manufacturer, with products that meet the standards set by the appointing manufacturer. 

For Daihatsu car spare parts, you can purchase the original spare parts at Astra Daihatsu. There are many Astra Daihatsu workshops spread across various regions in Indonesia.

2. Non-Manufacturer

Next is non-manufacturer or aftermarket. As the name suggests, non-manufacturer spare parts are unofficial parts from the vehicle brand. However, non-manufacturer spare parts can produce various components according to spare part standards and client orders. 

Usually, this type is more often used for hobby purposes, such as modifying vehicles, racing needs, and so on. When compared to the quality of original parts, non-manufacturer parts can be of lower quality than original products, equally good, or even better. 

It all depends on the manufacturer that makes them. Because there are also non-manufacturer producers who have licenses in the process of making spare parts for various motor vehicles.

3. KW 

This term is certainly often heard in the automotive world. Yes, next is the KW type, which is similar to counterfeit types. There are three categories of KW, namely KW1, 2, and 3. Among the three, they usually differ only in appearance or the materials used. KW products will not receive licenses from the car manufacturer. 

It should also be emphasized that KW products can be dangerous for vehicle safety, as they may be made not according to standards. Because of this, KW spare parts are priced lower.

Among these three types of spare parts, choosing the original is safer for the long term for your car. If you have a sufficient budget, it is advisable to choose original spare parts.
