the ceed is a turbo diesel, pretty much all are now with the common rail.

the common rail delivery is a new way for diesel to get better power and economy from the engine it works, i believe, by using 2 fuel pumps - 1 low pressure to pump it from the tank then another to another high pressure one near the injectors. basically it means that the diesel keeps coming through at the high pressure required for the engine to work rather than losing pressure. HDI or fingers are the folk to ask about what pressure goes through its a lot more than the 2-4 bar that petrol flows at
