Thick white smoke. What should I do?
Okay I changed my oil the other day and took it for a test drive and it was smoking white. Like heavy batmobile smokescreen. I put the recommended amount of oil but it seemed when I drained it there should have been more.
I'm fearing the worst that it's the head gasket that went but I want to flush the coolant and do a refill, I just don't know why it would run fine and then start smoking after an oil change.
Please help. Any advice would be great I want to get this car up and running
The car has 150k miles, I am doing the timing belt as soon as I figure this out. If its the head gasket I'll just do it all the same time

Did you drain the tranny and fill the engine? Believe it or not I've heard someone say they've done that on a VW.
What's the oil level on both the engine and tranny dipsticks?
Could be a failed oil seal on your turbo?
