3.6 FSI - Rough idle, delay on takeoff, occasional jolt, P0441

Featured Replies

I have a 2011 Škoda Superb with the 3.6 FSI EU5 engine (ECU: 03H906023AE) and I'm experiencing some odd behavior.

Here’s what’s happening:

– The engine has a noticeable shake at idle, especially when warm — like a light misfire or uneven running.

– When I take off from a stop, there’s often a delay in throttle response, and sometimes even a hard jolt, almost like the engine nearly stalls, then catches itself and goes.

I previously had a P0441 (EVAP System Incorrect Purge Flow) code.

I replaced the EVAP purge valve (N80)

Also replaced the fuel cap

The P0441 code hasn’t come back, but the idle issue and hesitation remain.

No faults from the DSG gearbox — shifts are smooth and normal.

What else should I look into? Could it be:

– PCV valve?

– Charcoal canister / EVAP leak?

– Throttle body adaptation?

– Fuel injectors?

– Vacuum leak or unmetered air intake?

Has anyone dealt with a similar combo of symptoms on this engine?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
