w210 320cdi 2000
Hi, I've noticed a rough idle on my 320cdi W210 (2000). It does'nt happen when the engine is cold only when hot and then only 50% of the time. It seems like only one cylinder but it makes for a rough idle. Does anybody have any ideas about tracking down the fault? Would it be worth trying injector cleaner etc?
The car has only done 65000 miles and ran smooth until this.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Mike..

I would have the codes read as a starting point.
