Problems!!! NEED ANSWERS!!!!!!

[Abe'sAudiA4]

Hey guys! I drive a 2006 Audi A4 Quattro B7 2.0T. Currently it has been down for several months. We have tried so many things. A week ago I brought it to a shop owner that I trust for a very long time. Every time I try to start it doesn't want to start normally, I have to hold down the gas pedal. While starting it doesn't make all the lights blink on the dashboard like a regular faulty ECM would. Once it starts thick clouds of white smoke comes out from the tailpipe. It stays running. While driving it would just continuously blow the white smoke. Acceleration would have timing issues. The car has 120,000 miles on it. After he teared into the vehicle trying to find what's wrong with it he believes. He thought it would be the ignition control module. After doing a little more research I found that their is no such part in these cars since the late 90's. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever had this issue. Anyone?

Have you connected a VAGCOM cable to get diagnostic codes? Are you losing any fluids particularly fast; oil, coolant?

If your mechanic is saying it's that part then I wouldn't let him touch the car. if you're blowing out that much smoke, I would suggest doing a leakdown and compression test on the cylinders to make sure you have good compression. Next would be to check and see what the ECU is telling you by scanning it with VAG-COM. I wouldn't go throwing parts at this car to see if they fix your problem as it seems you may have quite a few of them.

Reach out to one of the members in your area that has a vag-com cable and see what the codes are to diagnose. The mechanic imo seems to be a old skool wrench turner that is not up to the times with technology.

I haven't found anyone with a VAGCOM. And yes I lose a lot of oil quick.

Check your valve cover.

I second this. Remove the valve cover and check for cracks.
