Having fitted a solid rubbertype diaphragm( handy spare purchased from ebay) my compressor would not stop running and then overheated. Having just fitted the correct oem metal backed one my EAS is now correct. The all rubber type was not resealing after the exhust cycle. Lesson learnt!

Cant understand why you buy a beta, when there's proven stuff out there that works, if you have a look at posts on here, you will find the Dutch stuff is meant to be u/s and everyone is complaining the stuff is crap, tulips fine... P38 stuff... crap, get one from the recommended sources if I was you, now I'm not saying the myself the stuff is crap, but then again why risk it when the known stuff is good ( and price dont come into it when its only a few ££ more or less)
I bought the diaphragm last year when I first bought my P38. I had it as a spare just in case. As I was stuck the otherday with a failure I rebuilt my compressor with a new bearing and seal and fitted this diaphragm. No air came out when the compressor was running, but the diaphram was staying open after the compressor stopped and did the dump cycle. hence the pressure switch would see a drop and start the compressor again until it got too hot.
That is not possible. Pressure sensor is in line from tank to block after NRV1. It registers stored pressure in tank and in Violet coded pipe back to NRV1. Diaphragm valve is not in that circuit unless compressor is running. It and air drier/pipe work only has pressure against it or in it whilst tank is being filled, after gallery is exhausted to atmosphere when compressor stops, there is no pressure against diaphragm valve or in drier or pipework to drier, unless air is exhausted from bags. Because the inlet gallery has now become the exhaust gallery. A leaking NRV1, or pipe work to tank, or tank would cause your problems, but not a leaking diaphragm valve.
Maybe the all rubber one is thicker or stiffer and the spring holds it on the valve seat more making it harder for air to pass it when high pressure air is evacuated. But i can absolutly assure you that was not the cause of your compressor continuously running. It is not possible.
You have just opened another can of worms saying that. No exhausting of air can take place from bags whilst compressor is running. Suspension can go up but cannot come down. That is because same gallery is used to fill tank as is used to exhaust from bags. If the front was to high the system would have to wait until compressor stopped before exhausting excess air. Even if front bag valves and exhaust valve were open nothing can pass through NRV3 because the air pressure in front of it (filling tank) would be far greater than that behind it waiting to be exhausted from bags.
Thanks for your help so far.
The compressor had stopped. Then the air came from the exhaust. First a woosh. Then clicking and lowering from the front and more air. Both diaphragms were fitted correctly to a clean block. All pipes were checked for leaks.

got my new diaphragm valve from what was Rover Renovations about a year ago, up to now ( touch wood ) no problems!
does anybody know what his new web site is called?

I have the one piece version in mine no problems at all with it. Although it is stiffer than the two part OEM product.
