getting my car next week, what checking should I do before I take the car... nervous... o.0..................

I just got my car three days back....

First day, it goes smoothly, but somehow at the evening, there was some smell coming out from the front engine when I stopped the car for the day.

For the second and third day, the smell still there (at the engine place) and also there is some winding sound (wheeeeee, zezeze) kinda of sound every ten or fifteen seconds even when the car was idle. It will go silent for a while and then the sound starts again, even when the car is idle and not moving. When I pickup, it seems like not smooth at all and I have to press hard and it seems a lot of oil is consume and suddenly the car is like pushing too hard forward...

Is this normal or should I go SC for a check? I just drove for 120 km only or I am starting to worrying too much. Apart from the sounds coming from the front intermittently, everything seems fine to me, just that I find it that the brake is too high forward, and the oil pedal is too deep inside. Is that adjustable...

Would appreciate if bro out here can give some advice.... feeling worried now as the sound grew louder since yesterday. It does not happen to have those sound on the first day....

It's like some burning smell like that lor....

But is the breathing normal ar?

Maybe I will go SC to have it check out?

Would like to ask if this is a normal condition of Proton BLM. I just got my BLM a week ago, everything seems fine except that the sound coming from the engine. It is loud with Voooooo sound in subsequent interval of minutes. I am not sure why the ventilation/ fan sounds so hard and needs to kick in even it is idle. I bring to SC and they mentioned it is normal. But my friend's BLM doesn't seems to have this sound/ noise. I am new to car and do not know how to describe much here. The sound seems to be like fan/ ventilation tries to kick in. But it will stop for a while and the sound start again. It's from the engine part.

And how do I know when IAFM kicks in ya? Cause I dun really feel it....

Hope bro out here can help me.....

so, it's consider normal ar? hmm... badly impressed lor... meaning after 1st service, 2nd service will be better?

I hope that is very true wor.... but the sound like siuyi says, quite annoying sometimes, just like an old car coughing...

by the way, wanna ask, for the first 1000km service, which oil should i use, if I am going to buy myself and bring it there?

how to know when IAFM not working, I am kinda feeling uncomfortable with the sound at the engine part... it's like the sound is getting louder day by day, and i am just passing 400 km mark of driving.. when stopping the car, the air cond sound from the front engine compartment is very loud, and even turning off the air cond, the engine sound is quite loud...

any good sc can recommend to pull in my car for a check ar?

or am i too nervous on the new car
