It's the same p/n for N54 & N55.
Maybe redesigned, but then it's redesigned for both as they share same p/n.
Sh1tty design nonetheless any way you slice it. It's ok to have cooling according to engine load, but not cool to have it fail out of the blue, being a royal PITA to replace it and costing how much? I really like the simplicity of belt driven WP from operation to replacing to cost.
