Why is my Vauxhall Corsa engine making a whining noise?

I recently bought a used Vauxhall Corsa and it's been making a strange whining noise coming from the engine. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hi Emily, the whining noise you're hearing could be caused by a variety of issues. It's important to get your car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent any further damage.

Hello Emily, it's common for older Vauxhall Corsas to develop a whining noise in the engine due to worn out bearings or a faulty serpentine belt. I suggest getting it checked and replaced if necessary for smooth and efficient driving.

Hey Emily, have you recently had your oil changed? Low or dirty oil can also cause a whining noise in the engine. Make sure to keep up with regular oil changes to avoid any potential issues.
