I posted this over at vwdiesel as well, though no one has responded yet.
Recently started seeing white smoke on occasion. Started out any time the car would coast in 5th gear after acceleration to about 3k RPM. Would just be a puff.
I'm thinking it is oil, smelled like it, and the thinner bits had a bluish tint to it.
Just the other day, it bellowed white smoke for a bit until I pressed the clutch in while driving in a neighborhood.
Today, did the same for a few moments after stopping. Was doing about 40-50 in 5th, letting it sit less than 2k RPM and it smoked mayvbe for a few seconds at most.
Just shy off 200k miles on the car, though previous owner said the engine that is in it now is not the original.
Has malone stage 1, EGR delete and 2.5in straight pipe from turbo to back.
No sign of oil in the coolant or coolant in oil..
Thinking it's an issue with the turbo.
Seems to be pretty sporadic, it won't do it all the time, but when it does, it's a fair bit of smoke.
