Why is my Vauxhall Insignia making a strange noise when I turn the steering wheel?

I recently bought a Vauxhall Insignia and noticed that it makes a weird noise when I turn the steering wheel, especially when driving at low speeds. The noise sounds like a high-pitched whirring sound. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

The strange noise you are hearing could be caused by a worn out steering column bearing. This is a common issue with Vauxhall Insignias and can be easily fixed by replacing the bearing. I suggest taking it to a certified mechanic to get it fixed.

Another possible cause could be an issue with the power steering fluid. Check the fluid levels and make sure they are at the recommended level. If they are low, top it up with the specified type of fluid for your Vauxhall Insignia model. If the problem persists, it's best to have a professional take a look.

It's also worth checking the condition of the drive belt. A worn or loose drive belt can also create a strange noise when turning the steering wheel. Have a mechanic inspect the belt and replace it if necessary.
