There are many types of smells and many different reasons for each smell. Given below are a list of each:
1. Plastic burning / melting smell: This could be due to any of the electrical wiring / fuses / components getting short circuited. It could also be due to any plastic part rubbing against a moving part and therefore burning.
2. Rubber burning smell: This could be due to any of the belts in the engine rubbing against something and burning. It could also be due to tyres rubbing against something like a part of the suspension arm or the mud flaps.
3. Metal / Asbestos burning smell: Though this is slightly difficult to recognize, a smell that feels like hot plate in indicative of overheating metal. Also, an asbestos type smell (though cars don't use asbestos anymore) can indicate brake liners abrazing.. In either case, this could be related to the brake system.
I suggest that you take the car to a well known and experienced mechanic first and ask him to diagnose the problem. Pay him for that. After that, take the car to the service centre. This way, you will be able to tell them what exactly is wrong. Problems like these are sometimes difficult to identify and if you leave it to the service centre guys altogether, they may not do the rectification properly. So, go armed with expert advice and then tell them where exactly the problem is.
