Firstly as there is a burning smell, could it lead to a fire ?? The supplementary heater is electric only so it wont be a hot water pipe touching the plastic. What year is the car ? How long have you had the car ?
I'm sure if you contact Audi UK and explain the risk of a possible fire something will be done. I think you need to go back and really put up a bit of a fight with them.
