Hey thanks for reply no no signs of this at all . But I think it’s what the guy above said a bad engine with bad sealing and piston rings . Anyway as I said above it burns oil badly but only if the heater is turned off or put to cold . The smoke is a white oily smell that comes out . I have had the car 8 years an has been fine and regular serviced . I’ve tried everything and even garages arnt sure but from my experience it needs re ringing . It’s an early 2005 model . Head gasket is fine no pollution in water tried all the usual . But just so supprised it’s like this at a genuine 84000 miles . I’ve had cars do twice that with no problems . Thanks for the advice though

Hi everyone I’m new to this I have an Audi a3 1.6 petrol 2005 sprtback it’s got 84000 on clock . Ok the problem is this when I drive with the heater on full on the car . The car is fine . If I turn the heater off or run the heater on low cold the car starts to smoke a smells of burning oil . Nobody seems to know the answer as the temp gage stays bang in the middle even when smoking . The engine dosent over heat . The radiator fill is clear and dosent use water . I’ve just bought some ristone ring seal to see if that helps . Bacically I thought after changing all the oviouse . Plugs plug leads radiator the list goes on . I’d give this a try . I think the engine needs a rebuild and re ringing but at only 84000 . Not good !!! Put the heater in hot at high it dosent smoke at all . Shame as it’s in fantastic condition . My question is do you think the ring seal will help . Otherwise il get rid of it . Thanks an also compression test was fine too on all 4 cylinders . The rings are letting oil threw to the cat a smoking I think wen on hot the heater is acting as a radiator . I know they are the worse engine but they are reliable . Thank you for your help jon
