I get lots of bubbles at 10 lb pressure! Relatively new "genuine Porsche" tank, guess I'll replace the "genuine Porsche " o-rings!
Redeye, all those plastic fiddly bits break and die if you look at the crossways.

I dont have the duremetric software unfortunately. I do some more diagnostics tomorrow. I just find it would be a coincidence that all of a sudden I have a new issue.

New art I took my time when taking apart the bleeder valve I don't really like the fact that it screws into plastic. I was amazed that a new tank had this defect I guess that's whAt you get when most of this stuff is made in China.

With the Durametric you would be able to see more information and do things like test the engine compartment fan or see the fault causing the flashing light.

Usually the bigger problem is the screws rather than the plastic, the screws love to simply snap off.

I found someone who has a Durametric version 5 and wants 75 bucks for it. Is this worth my time or should I look for the newer version?

Don't buy it. The current version uses a different USB cable and drivers and has many, many updates that version does not have and cannot be updated to.

If you change the orings try putting a little thicker ones that is what I did and it seemed to work.
