Check to to see if your fuel pump is failing..Also check to see of the honey comb on your maf has been sucked in and try to clean it with maf spray when they get dirty from filters with high oil in them this code will appear.

Could be the seals in the turbo taking a dump.

White smoke is coolant. It might need a new head gasket.

Your PCV needs cleaning/replacement.

the white smoke + a sweet smell coming out the exhaust = coolant

White smoke is evidence of a coolant leak, most likely from the head gasket. Burning coolant that is leaking will have sweet smell to it like syrup.

Could be seals on the turbo are going bad and you are letting oil and coolant into the charging system. As people stated before, white smoke means you are burning coolant somehow. Only ways to be doing this are a leaky head gasket or the turbo seals starting to go bad and leaking things into the IC pipes, etc. A leakdown test will confirm wether or not it is the head gasket, and I would check the turbine for shaft play to judge the wear on the turbo. Make sure to clean everything up after you figure out what it is, oil in the IC and pipes can get things inside the motor and valvetrain quite messy/
