Looking to buy macht Schnell power pulleys how many pulleys should it come with.

Member said he only has one. On macht' site it shows to pulleys and two belts? This is all he has. Is this correct?

Two pulleys, two belts.

Better question: On the spectrum of OEM (easy) to Dinan (nigh impossible), how hard is it to install the belts on the MS pulleys?

Completely different sides of the spectrum. Dinan belts are simply too small, making it a real project wrapping it over the pulleys. .

Not bad if you can wrench. Fan has to come out. To replace belts down the road, PS pulley has to come back off. Belts are purchased through German eBay site for best price.

It's a bitch disconnecting the hoses from the bottom of the radiator unless you have tiny arms. I got so cut up it sucked. And to get it back in I was able to reclip in the hoses without taking off the splash shields so in hindsight I should have removed them during disassembly..

I think very early cars used one pulley. From late 2008 on, two pulleys are required. I think I have a spare 2nd pulley (might be an idler or PS pulley) from one of these kits that I would sell if anyone is interested. PM me.

So it's useless with only the crank pulley? That's all he has with the kit.
It should also come with the power steering pulley.

I think useless for a later car like yours. You could resell it for an early car. Or buy the pulley you need.

This is a Rogue but for your purposes it does not matter what kind since the PS is not the underdrive but just a smooth surface pulley instead of a ribbed one.

Thanks. I have no problem getting to, removing, and reinstalling a pulley and a properly sized belt (i.e., OEM), but the Dinan belts were a cruel joke. The power-steering side was way too small. Glad to know the MS pulley does not have the same problem.

does anyone else have an issue with the power steering feeling like its non-existent?? slapped on the MS pulleys and belts (double checked the routing) and now its almost like its not even working what-so-ever

Nope, something is wrong for sure. My steering feels like factory 99% of the time.

so my MFD is 05/08, was supposed to have the single sided power steering belt, didnt notice when i was taking everything apart and routed the way i saw it for older version S65... until i just went and looked at the old belts and noticed that it WAS a double sided....soooo the power steering pump is actually going the wrong way.

chayes11 · 05-30-2015, 09:16 PM
