Perhaps like renault_megane_dci said, the power steering is provided via a electric motor or through the steering column itself. The exact model of my Polo is an 9n3 (mk4), but I haven't managed to find a service/workshop manual for it.

I've checked and you have an electric pump running your power steering system. That's why one pulley is "missing"
