Burning rubber/electrical bits smells come to mind. Is the car idling normally, running strong in all gears?

Any clunking/loud tapping or rattling sounds coming from the engine?

The air-cooled engines have a unique smell, not unlike hot oil.

The CEL could indicate something as simple as the gas cap being loose to a vaccum leak.

Get the code and we'll help you get her fixed up.
