Hi guys,

I have to 2 questions.

I couldn't find a thread that explains how to repair the pressure regulator valve for TD4, using the repair kit.

So I managed to take the regulator out. I have the repair kit 2-O rings. green and white

I cant seem to be able to take the white O ring out of the regulator. It's very plastiky...not rubbery...

Question is how do I take it out and how do I put the new one in. The regulator filter at the tip of the regulator seem to be way bigger than the O ring diameter.

2 questions:
1. Any guides around on how to do it?
2. Any way to test the regulator functionality using a battery and a meter? I checked the regulator resistance and it's around 2.8 ohms.

I connected the regulator to 3.7V/ 7.2V and 10.4V batteries in this order. I could hear a click inside the regulator but can't see anything happening :))

I wanted to see if the diaphragm of the regulator is ok and not leaking, but it seems I can't really see that.
 
The white ring is a nylon material. It does take some effort to remove it and just as much effort to refit it without damaging it. The green O ring is an easy replacement. ;)

It actually is nearly impossible to fit without damage... The filter is in the way. Maybe take filter out?
 
The rubber O ring gets removed first and is refitted last. The plastic O ring can remain in place, if it's not damaged.
Check for foreign objects in the pump regulator hole, I've found plastic bag maternal in the hole on a couple of occasions.

The white plastic O-ring as a slant cut in it this opens up and allows you to remove and fit the O-ring, some sets come with a third O-ring large one , fit this also and you get a better pressure seal.

Also make sure the end is clean as this as very tiny holes a kind of filter make sure it is not clogged up with tiny black particles.

DMM means diagnostic tool?

This is how mine looks like. Worth replacing?

Also... does this valve have a diaphragm??? I heard it can leak from it in TD5s

Do you know the size of the larger O-Ring ? Nevermind, found the part number for the larger O-Ring - MYX000040,
