[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 126187, member: 7474"] I have never heard this which does not mean it isn’t true. On my A300 there are no glow plugs. There is an air intake heater. The heat from this or glow plugs helps the diesel fuel to ignite on initial startup. Since diesel ignites under high pressure The heat just gives it a little extra boost. On newer machines, with a glow plug countdown timer, you will notice that the warmer the temp of the day or engine the shorter the countdown is. After stopping a machine sometimes the glow countdown will not come on at all meaning the glow plugs are not activated. [/QUOTE]
