This question arises when searching for replacement injectors for a VW Polo 6R. It's possible that the same part may have different OEM references depending on the manufacturer, and 03L 130 277 S could be one of the alternative part numbers for the injector in question. Always verify part compatibility by cross-referencing OEM numbers to ensure a proper fit. I found on this site:  link hidden, please login to view 

link hidden, please login to view announced it has released Guided ADAS. This application enables Autel Calibration system owners to use their frame, targets and expedited setup, with OE software accessed in-house or via the Autel Remote Expert platform, to calibrate vehicles not yet covered by Autel tablet ADAS calibration software, according to Autel. “We are always playing catchup when it comes to coverage. That is just the reality of being an aftermarket software developer. Yet, technicians, especially those working in collision, need to calibrate new or newer vehicles. With Guided ADAS, Autel users can take advantage of all the benefits of their calibration systems—ease of use and efficiency—step-by-step instructions, optical positioning, unlevel floor compensation, and validated documentation, along with our quality targets, patterns, and calibrators—and use OE calibration software to complete the task,”  said Stewart Peregrine, senior executive of ADAS sales at link hidden, please login to view.   Guided ADAS, which is compatible with all of the Autel calibration systems: the Standard, MA600, IA800, IA900, or the new IA700 frames, allows shops to use their own OE subscriptions and tools or contract with a Remote Expert with OE software subscriptions for the setup specifications and to initiate ADAS calibration on new vehicles, according to Autel. There are three calibration scenarios available in the application The first allows the in-house or Remote Expert technician who has referenced the OE calibration data and has determined that the vehicle uses the same procedures and targets as a previous model year to retrieve the detailed setup instructions, including target type from the Autel calibration database. Autel offers calibration coverage for more than 40 brands and hundreds of models and model year vehicles sold in North America.   The second application allows technicians to input and save the specifications for completely new or existing vehicles with new-to-the-model ADAS components that lack historical parameter data. The third scenario allows technicians to use the Autel patterns, targets, and calibrators identified by the OE as acceptable for calibrating the identified vehicle. The technician would then determine the position identification method, i.e., radar location, front camera, or front of the vehicle, then input the distance and height of the target to meet the OE’s vehicle placement requirements.  Next, the user selects “Start Placement.” The system will display placement instructions for MA600 or Standard frame system users or activate the optical positioning cameras and guide the user to place the target and frame at the correct distance, offset, and angle to the vehicle when the IA700, IA800, and IA900 frames are used.  Remote Expert Platform  The Autel Remote Expert platform enables technicians to contract with an experienced technician with OE tools or subscriptions to complete the calibration if needed. Remote Experts are also available for modular flashing, new ECU programming, and OE tasks currently not supported by Autel software. Released on the Autel MaxiSYS Ultra series of tablets over two years ago, the Remote Expert platform has seen incredible growth, averaging more than 4,000 monthly orders.    “Remote Expert is like a virtual lifeline from the technician to an Expert. Whatever the challenge, from a tricky diagnosis to module programming, a technician can use the platform to reach out to an Expert. ADAS calibration assistance has quickly grown in need. With the development of Guided ADAS, we foresee even greater growth,” Autel’s Director of Technical Operations, Maurice Miller, said of the platform.  The post link hidden, please login to view appeared first on link hidden, please login to view. link hidden, please login to view

The car air filter is a vital component in the car engine intake system. Its function is to filter out dust, sand and other impurities in the air entering the engine to reduce the wear of these impurities on the internal parts of the engine and protect the normal operation of the engine. The performance of the air filter is directly related to the life of the engine and the fuel efficiency of the car. There are two main types of air filters: dry and wet. Dry filters usually consist of paper filter elements, while wet filters may include oil bath filters, in which air passes through oil to filter impurities. In modern cars, dry paper filter elements are widely used because of their high efficiency and low cost. The recommended cycle for maintaining and replacing air filters is usually 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers, but this may vary depending on the vehicle's use environment and driving conditions. In areas with poor air quality or dusty areas, more frequent replacement may be required. If the air filter is too dirty, it may cause insufficient engine intake, reduced power, increased fuel consumption, and even increased engine wear. The process of replacing the air filter is relatively simple and mainly includes the following steps: 1. Turn off the engine and open the car hood. 2. Find the location of the air filter, which is usually on the side of the engine compartment. 3. Loosen the clamp or screw that fixes the air filter box. 4. Remove the old filter element and check whether it is damaged or excessively dirty. 5. Clean the inside of the air filter housing to remove dust and impurities. 6. Install the new air filter element and make sure it is properly placed. 7. Reinstall the air filter box and fix it. In daily maintenance, compressed air can be used to blow dust from the inside of the filter element to the outside, but oil or water should be avoided for cleaning, as this may damage the filter element. If the filter element is already damaged or excessively dirty, a new filter element should be replaced. Proper maintenance and timely replacement of air filters are essential to maintaining engine performance and extending its service life. Car owners should determine the best time to replace the air filter based on the recommendations of the car manufacturer and their own driving environment. 🔗Here are more products you want: link hidden, please login to view 💬Leave a message to tell us your needs, our professional team is always at your service!
