Question regarding Factory Upgraded Power Steering Fan Duct & Panel

Do both panels (belly pan and duct) come with this product? Or just the duct that goes to the power steering fan?

Anyone create a DIY or PDF install guide for this item?

Thanks.

I bought this for my '04 MCS - it comes with both panels. I haven't installed the duct yet - it looks like the power steering fan bracket needs to be drilled for the duct to mount to it.

As far as installing the belly pan - it's quite easy (assuming stock bumper). Loosen the 3 bolts (10mm) underneath the bumper. The belly pan is sandwiched between the lower lip of the bumper and the bottom of the radiator support. Remove the two phillips head screws toward the rear of the pan. Pull the old pan out, install the new pan in the reverse order of removal.

Hope this helps! It should all make sense once you're underneath the car. I was quite happy with how easy it was to remove and replace the belly pan.

Very cool Darren, thanks. My g/f's brother has a later production '05 and his came from the factory with the duct installed. Perhaps I can use his as a reference point.

Any chance you could snap a few pics of his '05 as reference? I'm a bit curious as to how the factory mounted the duct to the fan.

Sure thing, Darren. Not a problem. May be awhile though.
