Why does my Audi A3 make a strange noise when I turn the steering wheel?

I've noticed that my Audi A3 makes a strange noise whenever I turn the steering wheel, especially at low speeds. It sounds like a creaking or grinding sound. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

This could be a sign of worn out or loose steering components, such as the tie rod ends or ball joints. It's important to have these checked and replaced if necessary, as the issue can worsen over time and affect your vehicle's handling.

Make sure to also check your power steering fluid levels and top up if necessary. Low fluid levels can cause the power steering pump to make strange noises.
