How much harm does driving in Tibet or Xinjiang do to your car?

As we all know, Tibet and Xinjiang are two provinces with the worst natural environment in China, but their natural scenery is also unique. So many tourists still choose to travel to Tibet or Xinjiang by car. The harm of self-driving to the car also needs to be considered. Especially in the engine, tires and brakes of automobiles, the loss is particularly serious.

Before going to these two places, the vehicle should be fully maintained, and the engine oil and some consumables should be replaced and updated. On the tire, because there is more gravel on the road, the tire will wear more, so it is necessary to replace the new tire and prepare the spare tire. Change to a battery with high starting voltage to avoid ignition.

In addition, due to many twists and turns on the way, it is necessary to control the brakes frequently, so the wear on the brake pads will be very large. However, stepping on the brakes for a long time will cause the brake pads to heat up and even the brakes will fail. Therefore, we must pay special attention to the braking of the braking system. When the brakes fail or get hot, you should stop for a while before moving on, and make proper reinforcement, prepare simple maintenance equipment and spare brake pads.

For the engine, because the engine mainly determines the power problem of the car. In plateau areas, the contents of air and oxygen will be greatly reduced, resulting in insufficient combustion and insufficient power of general engines. If it is a turbocharged model, it will have more advantages, the combustion efficiency of the engine will also increase, and the power will also increase.

If you go to Tibet, the road conditions in Xinjiang are mostly good, but you should pay special attention to the harsh natural conditions for a certain period of time. For example, the rainy season in summer and snowfall and melting snow in winter. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to visit these places when going to go on road trip in summer and winter.
