    Do a search for mk2 heater flap repair... The original covering fails.

    the burny smell is probably the anti-corrosion coating on the matrix burning off, if you forget to wash it before you fit it will be especially bad mine sent great plumes of smoke out the blowers for a fair old while and the burney smell took a long time to go
