Sometimes when I start my 71 squareback a whitish color smoke comes out of the tailpipe. It smells like something is burning but I dont think it is oil. It also occasionally feels like it is running out of gas when it has a full tank. A while back it made this wierd gurgling noise when I took it to the mechanic he said he fixed it by putting a clamp on the exhaust pipe. My first question is... Does anyone have an idea as to what may be causing my car to smoke? My second question is.... Does the smoke problem relate to the feels like it is running out of gas problem? My third question is... Does the gurgling problem relate to either of first two questions? Even though I love my car, it has been nothing but problems that even mechanics cannot seem to fix right... My final question is.....Does anyone know a good VW mechanic in San Francisco? Thanks again for your help! The responses I received to my last problem were very helpful. This VW email list is the best! Michele 1971 red squareback
