Default crayon smell in 2001 standard VW New Beetle, diesel

I am having trouble with my 2001 VW Beetle. I purchased the car from the original owner and I did not detect the crayon smell right away. It wasn't until the summer months, that the smell intensified. I have been trying to get the smell identified. Did you contact the dealership and complain about the smell? I contacted VW Customer care online and they have been cooperating thru email. I asked for a field representative to evaluate the car and I want an air quality test done. She said "field representatives are actually dealership resources, and any arrangements for him to inspect one of our cars are made solely at the discretion of the dealership." She will make a request with our local dealership on my behalf. I am concerned the smell can be harmful.
