My 83 300D manual does not recommend idling to warm up the engine. I guess idling to warm up the engine was already bad 23 years ago. Fourth bulletpoint on the list:
One should drive the vehicle slowly to warm it up. From there keep a minimum rpm until you reach the operating temperature. At least that's what I do. Once it's up to operating temp, nararamdaman ko na mas may hatak na siya.
