I am working on getting a local independent VAG specialist down here to take a look, I had the smell again this evening after driving just 1 mile at 40mph (three left turns and a roundabout). The engine was not up to temperature, but you could feel a lot of heat from the drivers front wheel area. The passenger side was normal, but the drivers side was noticeably hotter. when kneeled down by the wheel and engine running.
I was originally aiming for a Saturday and its booked in for a couple of weeks time, but based on this evenings experience I'll call them and see if I can take sometime off work to take the car over to them.
