I have a 2001 1.8 Turbo Passat. I believe the white smoke is due to the engine sludge problem that had a recall on it (I missed the mileage cut off for a new engine). Sludge builds up on the Catalytic Converter. After a certain amount of build up and the temperature of the Cat is at normal temperature, white smoke will come out of tail pipe when accelerating. When it starts, the engine will shake slightly and sound strained. I try to gently continue my acceleration until the sludge is cleared (white smoke stops). Changing the oil frequently helps. Using synthetic oil helps. Shane

When you smell gas and white smoke come from tailpipe what is the problem?
There could be many problems related to smelling gas and seeing white smoke from your tailpipe. Some suggestions would be the head gasket. If the smoke has a blue tint to it, it may be oil related. If your car has a turbo, it may be the turbo needing to be replaced. To be sure, you can have a mechanic do a diagnostic on it.
