Why does my Vauxhall Corsa make a strange noise when I turn the wheel?

I have noticed that when I turn the wheel on my Vauxhall Corsa, it makes a strange noise that sounds like a whirring or grinding. What could be causing this and is it something I need to get checked out?

Hannah, the strange noise you're hearing when turning your Vauxhall Corsa's wheel could possibly be caused by a worn out power steering pump or a loose component in the steering system. It's definitely worth getting it checked out by a mechanic, as a malfunctioning steering system can be dangerous while driving.

Hi Hannah, I've encountered this issue before with my own Vauxhall Corsa and it turned out to be a loose belt in the power steering system. It's a relatively easy fix and shouldn't be too expensive to repair. I'd recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic to have it looked at.

Hi there, it sounds like your Vauxhall Corsa's power steering fluid might be low. I would check the fluid level and top it up if necessary. If the noise persists, then it's best to take it to a mechanic for further inspection.
