- IS 220d DPF and EGR TroubleSerious
Short-trip use can clog the diesel particulate filter and EGR system, causing limp mode, warning lights and stacked repair bills on the already less-desirable 220d.
- IS 220d Head Gasket and Cooling TroubleSerious
The 2.2 diesel can also develop more serious cooling-system and head-gasket issues, which is one reason UK buyers generally prefer the V6 petrol.
