There is a TSB on the clutch. Some early D3 clutches were found to be sticking and causing this smell. Replacement is a heavy duty version.
I'd wait as they say and see if the smell goes.
Still, strange that the smell has started post the new one

I had the same problem with the burning smell after my clutch was changed. However after a few days it did disappear so i wouldn't worry too much  2018 D5 3.0 HSE Lux
