The important carrier of the so-called "self-driving tour" is the car, and it is impossible to talk about the self-driving tour without the car. This "Shaanxi-Sichuan-Tibet Self-driving Tour" drove my "Stuffy Orange" (Tiguan 2017 L 380TSI Supreme Flagship Edition) for 47 days and traveled nearly 15,000 kilometers. Let's start with a set of travel data:
Mileage: 14840 km
Refueling volume: 1265.49 liters 12106.08 yuan
Toll: 2067.28 YUAN Note: Tibet Autonomous Region No speed road is free
Fuel consumption per 100 km: maximum 11 litres/100 km Minimum 7.38 litres/100 km, average fuel consumption 8.52 litres/100 km
Everyone knows that the roads in Tibet are characterized by mountainous, high altitude, many detours, many slopes, snow and water.
This time in Tibet self-driving I think it is much better than many years ago compared to the road conditions, the first road surface is basically paved, the proportion of non-paved pavement is very small, and our car is an SUV, not suitable for off-road, so we do not get off the road many times.
The topic turns back to the car, first of all, the high-power version of the Tiguan L (2.0TSI) in the plateau power performance is still very good, whether it is acceleration or long-distance uphill, especially in the acceleration of overtaking can have abundant power guarantee, acceleration response is also sensitive, only slightly delayed when the plateau low speed on the steep slope, 7-speed manual automatic transmission shift in time, always maintain sufficient power output. Vehicle handling is also good, the grip performance of the horse brand tires is also wrong, after the wet and slippery road, over the bend, avoid obstacles and so on there is no slippage, tail swing phenomenon.
The Tiguan L has a displacement of only 2.0T, and its power performance is not inferior to that of the large-displacement American car (the other two vehicles in the same group have a displacement of 3.2 and 3.6, respectively), and the fuel consumption is lower than that of the other two American cars.
"Stuffy Orange" has a high reaction
Do you know that Tiguan L also has a "high reaction" in the plateau, I thought that the car would be affected under the condition of hypoxia in the plateau, what I did not expect was that the electronic control system of Tiguan L appeared a series of high reactions, first of all, the self-start-stop system above 3000 meters above sea level failed, the car did not automatically turn off, and always maintained an idle state; Secondly, the blind spot of the rearview mirror indicates that the upper plateau is invalid, and when it returns to an altitude below 1,000 meters, it automatically recovers. There are also tire pressure monitoring multiple false alarms, let me in the no man's land really surprised, good in the belt pump, with a pressure gauge to measure each tire is not deflated, the second alarm simply drove the car to the county town to find a tire store to check. The most harmful is the water temperature and water level at the same time alarm, generally the first alarm is the water loss in the kettle, when the water temperature is high the temperature alarm only began to alarm, my car in Shigatse appeared water leakage phenomenon, the local repair shop inspection said that the pump leaked, I before the departure of the new pump, thought that the installation of the problem, good at that time the leakage is not much, I add antifreeze in time after continuing to go on the road, thinking that if the loss of water there will be an alarm prompt; As a result, the water level and water temperature of the Shiquan River were alarmed at the same time, at this time the coolant was boiling, and it had to wait for the steam to be added to the antifreeze again before continuing on the road.
