white smoke from under bonnet!

[stevan]

Hi all, this morning to my horror I had white smoke billowing from under the hood! I pulled over to inspect what I though was going to be a fire.Initially was thinking it was a regeneration going wrong.Bad smell made the hangover all that much worse...White smoke, called mechanic and he said I had most likely blown an aircon hose/pipe.Has anyone had an experience like this? I am hoping it is not such a big deal to repair?

Thanks Steve, yeah I tried that.Went into mechanic who gassed up aircon and found the leak from a blown hose.He also found a cracked exhaust tube from EGR which VW should have changed when they replaced the EGR on parts warranty 5000km ago...
