P0308 cylinder 8 misfire detected

Hi, sometimes getting engine wobble at startup that goes away when warm. Pulled the code above. Suspect injectors rather than plugs as only intermittent. Going to use some better grade fuel and try some MB fuel treatment and hope it goes away. Otherwise has anyone tried a single injector change as a DIY? Looks messy. Would also be grateful if anyone has any idea as to MB hours recommendation for this job?

Hi there i suspect you have a coil issue, that is most likely fault with vehicle. Every cylinder has a separate coil.

Thanks for the info. I guess this is a much easier and cheaper install (?) so I'll give it a shot and let you know how I get on. Cheers
