Why is my Audi A3 producing smoke from the exhaust?

I recently noticed that my Audi A3 is emitting smoke from the exhaust while driving. What could be the cause of this issue and how can I fix it?

This could possibly be a result of a faulty catalytic converter. I recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic for inspection and possible replacement of the converter.

Excessive oil consumption can also cause smoke from the exhaust. Check your oil levels and if they are low, consider getting an oil change and monitoring the consumption in the future.

Another common cause of smoke from the exhaust is a failing turbocharger. If you notice a loss of power in addition to the smoke, it is likely that the turbocharger needs to be replaced.
