On the 2017-2022 Skoda Octavia, the 1.5 TSI EVO petrol (introduced ~2017, Mk3 facelift and Mk4) is widely reported for a 'kangaroo effect': hesitation, surging and jerking at low RPM (roughly 1,200-2,000 rpm), particularly from cold starts and at low speed, most noticeable on manual cars. It stems from the Miller-cycle combustion and Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) management combined with turbo lag, making low-rev torque delivery uneven. VW Group issued software updates (notably around Feb 2020) that improved but did not fully eliminate it for some owners; later EVO2 versions revised it further.
Apply the latest VW Group ECU software update at a dealer, which improves smoothness for many cars. Ensure correct fuel quality and that the clutch take-up technique suits the engine. Where the issue persists, owners report partial improvement only; later EVO2 hardware/software is the more thorough fix.
