Sorry, can't give you known issues with the Audi V6, but I'm not long off doing the same with my VR6 - it's started smoking like a behatch too... (Funnily, seems to be since MRC gave it a tweak, obviously doesn't like the extra power )

I'm hoping it's just the valve seals, but I'm kinda prepping myself for guides and rings replacement. (at least I only have 12 to lap ) It only seems to smoke noticably at >5k but then it's a bit like a 007 secret weapon Not good when showing chavs a thing or two.

I've been using Mobil1 15W/50 for a while now, wonder if that has anything to do with it.

mine only does it after you have been coasting down a hill or sometimes if its been left ideling for a while,

Sounds like yours is dribbling, and mine is getting pushed.
Mine sounds worse.

Cue 'fnar fnar' comments...
