This evening I got in my 2001 allroad to run to the store. It is 0 degrees here today. When I got to the store I noticed a whole lot of white looking smoke coming from the exhaust and it smelled quite bad like burning oil. At idle it was very little, but once I accelerated it really started pouring out.

I got home and started checking the car out. There is oil under both sides of the engine compartment dripping down as well as near the rear of the motor. I pulled the dipstick and there was little or no oil on it. Does this sound like both turbos failed on me? I haven't had any other problems with the car. It has 60,000 miles on it and always has ran very good. Is there anything that I can check to verify that indeed this is what has happened?

If it is indeed the case that both turbos have failed, what am I looking at? I don't have the money to get them replaced at the dealer or even at a repair shop. How difficult is it to pull them and get them rebuilt?

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Do a search at Audiworld.There are a bunch who have done this

 

Is it possible that the suction pump or pcv valve has clogged and is pushing the oil past the seals? I found something in my searches about this. It just seems strange that it just happened like it did. Maybe the extreme cold weather had something to do with it?
