I've also noticed my temperature going from being in the middle and going down a bit then back to normal. Is that normal?
If you have the lack of power, the loud fan noise, and a vibrating/pulsating steering wheel, then the culprit is likely the electric cooling fan. Have your dealer take a look at it. They'll likely check for error codes before ripping anything out of the engine bay.

Unfortunately, I do not. An exploded blueprint of the N55 would likely contain the information you seek.

Now that it is evident that there are several faulty electric cooling fans out there, I have the following questions for those experiencing problems with it:

1) When was your car built?

2) What "line" is your car (i.e., M-Sport, Sport, etc.)?

My information:

1) August 2012 Build

2) M-Sport Line
