Personally, I think it is the ECU mapping and nothing to do with 2 cyl cutoff.  I will let you know when the update is done.

Similar tale here (except mine is a Superb 1.5 TSi); my dealer said last week, in response to my observing that we are pretty close to Q2 and therefore it might be expected that Skoda have more information or a better timeline, that he had no more information at all.

I feel your pain 

Hi 

Well it's April the 1st and my Karoq has be in for the software update (let's hope it's not an April Fool) 

although it says on the paper work car juddering and pulling away which was not my problem 2nd gear issues was. On driving it home and using 2nd gear as l always have, it did not display the engine dieing in low revs so let's hope that's the end of if. 

Just got back from the Skoda dealership.  I was advised there were 2 TPI's one for flat spot and one for first gear kangerooing.  1.5 hours later I got the car back.   Initial impressions are the car feels smoother, it is certainly more responsive between gears on the throttle ( i drive in normal mode).  When warm it does not kangeroo, I will have to wait until tomorrow when its cold as my problems materialised more when cold. 

For now, it drives as it should have from the beginning...it is a pleasure to drive.

Hi Rankaclank

Is the software update to solve the flat spot problem for MY19 or MY18 Karoq or is it for both.

 

Mine is a 19 MY...can’t say about 18MY.  The diagnosis system in Skoda dictates.  I will update my posts soon with other info. 

I started it cold today for the first time after the software update...It does not kangaroo, but it can bog down ever so slightly.  To be fair it could be me now, as I am sensitive to these issues...but it is definitely an improvement.  It still drives and responds well with no sign (so far) of zero throttle response.  I have noticed, however, when cold it seems to hang on to the handbrake a little longer...you know you are pulling against it.  Is this to load the engine or cause the driver to push the accelerator a little more...who knows?  I am monitoring the consumption as well to see if there is an impact...with the driving I do it currently does 39 mpg.

Visited a Skoda retailer today to get the o/s door lock/latch replaced and asked the service manager were there any Q2 updates available for my Karoq yet, her answer was no
