Why does my Audi A2 make a whining noise while turning?

I have recently noticed a whining noise coming from my Audi A2 when I turn the steering wheel, but it seems to go away when driving straight. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

The whining noise you hear is likely caused by a failing power steering pump. You may also notice difficulty turning the wheel and low power steering fluid. It's best to have your vehicle inspected by a mechanic and replaced if necessary.

Another possible cause for the whining noise could be a worn out wheel bearing. This can also cause a humming noise while driving. It's important to have this addressed as it can lead to unsafe driving conditions.

In some cases, the whining noise may be coming from a loose or worn out drive belt. This can be a simple fix by tightening or replacing the belt. Make sure to have your vehicle checked by a mechanic to determine the source of the noise.
