Dutch term or phrase: Beurt, raw
In my list of vehicle repairs I have:

reparatie d.d. X
Beurt. smeren
Storing in raw links opsporen.

I don't know what the 'raw' is
and I'm not quite sure about beurt. It also appears later as an item listed:

Apk keuren. beurt.

Explanation:
I agree with the rest that 'raw' must be short for 'richtingsaanwijzer' = directional indicator ('turn signal' in NA).

A 'beurt' is just a 'service event'. Typically you have a 'grote beurt' = regular (periodic) major service, and a 'kleine beurt' = regular (periodic) minor service. I don't think the periods in your text represent abbreviations.
beurt.smeren = regular/periodic lubrication
apk.keuring.beurt = regular /periodic motor vehicle inspection (legally required)

Again, I have the problem of awarding points when someone else came up with part of the answer, but this explains about the regular servicing/MOT in a way that leaves me in no doubt.
Unfortunately, the full stops are littered throughout, with no regard for sentence structure (i.e. they're not always followed by a capital), but as this is what was causing me part of the problem, it would have defeated the object if I'd deleted them.
So thank you everyone.

Explanation:
beurt = turn, session,

The only defintion I know of for RAW = "Rationalisatie en Automatisering Grond- Weg- en Waterbouw", which normally is translated as "Specification System for Works of Civil Engineering
Constructions", though I am not sure what this has to do with your present can of worms.

alternate(ly), indicator


Explanation:
I see a period there, so "beurt." (with period) is probably short for something like 'beurtelings' which means "alternately".

"raw" I would say Rear Axle Weight, but it's a dutch acronym, so my best guess is richtingaanwijzer, which is either an indicator or traffic indicator (direction pointer, basically).

In 1st reference, see "raw schackelaars"

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Bryan Crumpler: the matter in question is whether "beurt" is really "beurt" or is an abbreviation for something else I think. In the last few posts there's been a lot of things abbreviated. And the period there would be superflous I think if it were just "beurt" no?
1 hr
  -> you may be right, but then why is there a peroid after 'keuren'? My guess is that whoever wrote this just used periods (liberally) as a sort of punctuation
agree  Antoinette Verburg
9 hrs
agree  Chris Hopley: 'beurt' can only refer to service here.
