Stink in neutral, that's a weird one... Is it smelling in idle/neutral or when it's stationary and the smell is not being blown off? Is the pedal feel the same? Are you still under warranty? I've had bmw give me two clutches over the years due to the throwout bearing (rattle in neutral) though they were otherwise operational. Don't know if VW would be so kind.
Any car could stress its clutch. Our GTI clutch is fine at 36k miles (and 290hp tune).
