If the smoke is blue it means your burning oil that would be caused by bad rings. Thick and white means coolant. It could be a bad turbo too.

Even if it is a GS, Theengineer sol his 95 TSi AWD for only $4500 and that is Turbo model and AWD. a GS 96 really isnt worht alot of $$$ So ifsomeone is willing to pay that id do it in a heart beat
