DV+ , much better design . If you want to buy that part I could sell you mine, pulled at 11K miles.

But gofastbits is much better. About $185 shipped US , BUT it comes from down under and takes a while.

Where you located ?

the DV+ is pretty B.A. but i'm not sure how much longer we're gonna keep the mini..

so you believe the ripped diaphragm is the cause of the bleed?

Just looks like a damaged diaphragm.

There is an updated version of the Factory diverter valve now: 11658636606
