Does the smoke appear from a cold start up?

[dane]

No I'll go for a drive then after if I go slow for a few miles then go to speed up it smokes sometimes a little bit sometimes loads but I know when it's going to happen because I get a smell in the car before I speed up :/ I'm lost don't know what it is and love the mk4 to much to bin it

Get the coolant system tested for oil in the coolant, might be the head gasket as stated

Is the smell strong when sitting stationary? Could be a leak onto a hot component rather than burning oil.

No all the things only happen when drive iv been advised to get head done and skimed and exhaust cacle steam things done as my mate that likes vw cars said it could be that

Before you do any of that. Get a compression test done, also whilst the sparkplugs are out check the condition for oil fouling. Also generally check for leaks.

Headgasket would put out plooms of white smoke as coolant would be being burned.

Valve stem seals would only burn oil on a cold start, as the oil collects behind the stem when it cools after a run.

Are you down on power? It sounds more like piston rings to me.
