I once owned a VW bug and i smelled that burnt wire smell. I was 19 and didnt know anything other than get gas and go. well two days later I almost lost the whole thing to fire. So yeah concerned enough to find the burnt wire Id say is a good thing, take yer temp meter and point it under the dash at yer wires who know maybe you get lucky.
