Thanks for the reply! No, the error code is not specific. Do you remember what was wrong with your car?

Yeah, turns out it was a defective control unit. Not cheap, but it sorted the problem completely. I'd suggest getting it checked out by a workshop. Cost me around 1000€ to get fixed.

Thanks a lot for the info! I really appreciate it. Looks like I'll be booking it into the workshop then. Hopefully, it's just the control unit like yours was.

I had a similar issue with my IS a while back. Exact same symptoms: dodgy shifting, grinding, the whole nine yards. It was driving me crazy trying to figure it out. Does the error code point to anything specific?
