I've been trying to find this out too (for a mark III Golf). The smell's more noticeable in heavy traffic, I sometimes see smoke coming out of the air vents when the air's not switched on, and find condensation on the windscreen.

It seems to be a problem with the cooling system. The coolant leaks onto the engine where it's burnt off. Maybe the heater core?

You can buy a replacement hose at an auto parts store. Or, if your heater core is bad and you are not replacing it, you can disconnect the other hose from the core and reroute it back to the intake to keep the water circulating through the engine.
