Model Year: 2000

Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi All,
My car when starting up for the first time is very silent. engine runs fine with hardly any noise. But after about 20 - 30 min of city driving with round abouts, taffic lights ( nothing unusual ) engine noise increases and it certainly sounds like how diesel engine sounds. I've checked engine oil and it was low. so i topped it up.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance
