This can very depending on the overall condition of the engine, an older engine with lots of wear and lower compression may need the glow plugs on every start. Also the specific design of your engine may be different. Yes, the vibration will be worse, because you're not getting complete combustion from one or more of the cylinders. You could have a problem with the overall compression, possibly a broken or worn ring also. | |
