If it is the injectors go to the scrappies, you will get them in exchange for the spare change in your pocket. I would also get a compression test done on the head, also would have a look at the turbo as well.

Hope it aint to bad

Normally, white smoke = coolant

Blue smoke = oil

Black smoke = fuel

As above white smoke usually means water has made its way into the combustion chambers.

It's worth checking the coolant levels to see if they have dropped and if they have then it would be a case of finding out where the leak is. Head gasket, crack in the block or head, other cooling systems.

I'm curious why they say injectors, unless they are injecting water from iffy fuel or a fuel filter that has filled with water.

Does the engine still drive but with lots of smoke or is it non starting?

Having been given more details from VW.

Engine seals! Which ones there are loads.

Piston rings, head gasket seals in the fuel system

As said already though if you car is putting out white and not black smoke I don't think it's excess fuel causing the extra smoke. It might have caused something to go wrong to leak water into the system.

As above is the engine driveable/running or non running and how are the coolant levels?

Get a Sniff test done on the expansion bottle, by another garage.

This would show if there is any gasses being forced into the coolant system.

Not a blown turbo?

I'd take it elsewhere tbh.

Got me worried about mine now, but then I wasn't doing 70 when mine popped, I was doing 115 on full boost
