Should an 07 Mk7 2.4 TDCI 100PS need the plugs for a smooth cold morning start?

It'll be listed as cold start to minus 20 degrees c, in uk we see about 0 at best so you could possibly get away with it, but ppl have suggested that the flow plugs also help emissions and possibly save fuel etc.
My experience was that they were present on my van so I wanted them working, I fitted some nice new Beru 11v ones as per original and with all the updates etc I did on my van, it started on the button every time.
It's amazing how many ppl have brought them to me saying that they're mint etc and I've turned the key and it has taken a few lumpy seconds to get the thing going followed by numerous strange noises then what sounds like a tank.
It's mint innit m8.
Ps. They're relatively cheap but get the engine hot as ppl have snapped them trying to remove them, I've never done it but then my vans last owner was a vicar
