You're probably smelling the burnt rubber from your brakes. It's normal for a new car and should go away after a few hundred more kms.

If it's still there after you reach 500 km, bring it to the attention of your dealer.

Thanks. Now I know what that smell is.

I usually blame one of my kids or the dog.. Oh wait, you probably don't mean THAT smell... sorry, couldn't resist.

Rather than new brakes, I suspect what is happening is that come of the wax-like coating applied to cars being shipped overseas was applies to your exhaust system and is melting/vaporizing when the exhaust system heats up. It should clear up soon, but you might want to call your salesman and register this info in case it is something else.

Enjoy your new car smell. It comes standard in all Audi/VW products.
