I don't know if its the same one as me but I've also had trouble with the car. I was on the motorway yesterday and was doing 60 in 5th gear when all of a sudden I felt the gear shaking and felt almost as if the car was about to turn off. I took it into 4th then it was fine. But today I was in 4th doing 50 and the same happened again then I switched to 3rd and still the same. Because it was rush hour eventually I stopped then it was fine after that. Anyone else that can help?

Rizzy,

The gearing ratios on the is220d are very high so doing 60 in fifth may be ok for a while but your labouring the engine which eventually leads to problems. As for your shaking and juddering your getting now could be due to the egr valve being clogged up, it may have been caused by labouring the engine, I would start there.

Hope you get it sorted keep us updated
