Underdrive pulley help

Just about to start fitting my underdrive pulley and got a little confused. All 3 parts of the pulley are for 4 rib belts, but the power steering belt on the car is 3 rib.

Have i got the wrong pulley or can i still fit a 3 rib belt onto the pulley?

 

Any help hugely appreciated.

    Was the 3 rib belt already on your car or did it come with the pulley? Shouldn't be a problem provided the belt is tensioned and aligned with the PS pulley correctly. Best off getting a new 4 rib belt (about £12ish)..

    Scotty has an NA, and I'm fairly sure that they came with 3-rib PS pulleys and belts rather than the 4-rib the TT uses (as they have no HICAS to drive).. ;)

     

    And from what I've read, yep you're fine to use the 3-rib belt, just make sure all the belts are in line and in the right places and you're good to go.

    Cheers Guys. Yeah, my car does have a 3 rib PS pulley.

    Back to work then. :)
