Having a problem with my 01 Turbo Jetta
When i am idling its blowing out white smoke. But doesnt do it when I start it up?

Unfortunately you more than likely have a blown head gasket. White smoke is caused by water or antifreeze mixing in with the oil. Mabey someone else has a different idea but that would my my guess.

Actually blue smoke would be oil, so it's prolly not oil. White smoke would be anti-freeze....but not always.
