A few posts ago someone said that a direct injection diesel ( eg 300 Tdi )
did'nt really need glo plugs as they started much more readily. Question is,
more easily than what system and what actually is direct injection/ is it
the same as common rail diesel etc.

Direct injection starts easier than indirect injection...

Direct injection means that the injector fires straight into the cylinders
rather than into a little mixing chamber next to the cylinders

Common rail diesels are direct injection put are injected by the 'tap'
being opened on a fuel rail that is held at pressure rather than a sqirt of
pressure going up each injector pipe in turn.... this is more like a petrol
injection engine ( most not all )

Rather simplistic I know but roughly how they all work......
