Check power steering fluid
Depends on the whine, but the power steering pump could be dry. If so, make sure you use fluid from Audi/VW (it's a mineral oil base).

Check your power steering fluid. Mine started whining when my power steering fluid got low...
it was obviously less noticeable at idle since the car wasn't moving. But it would get louder when I turned and when I gave it gas (since the belt spins in conjunction with the throttle).
It's worth a shot and it's as cheap as a bottle of power steering fluid if that's really it.
