Not Ranked
I don't know what the fuss is about. I've had 3 direct injection diesels now and not had any injection trouble with any of them.
The Land Rover I had used an extra cam to drive a piston pump on each injector to achieve the ultra high pressures. The fuel pump was actually not much higher pressure than a regular petrol pump. I think our VW uses the same system. A bit more complicated than common rail.
They all have a water sensor in the fuel filter and an idiot light on the dash. So as long you don't do anything silly like running it with the light on and doing nothing about it you shouldn't have any trouble.
Cheers
