“Works great! My old machine was leaking a little bit though the steam wand but the new gasket took care of that. Espresso parts has fantastic customer service! I had a question and got back to me very quickly with a helpful video. Highly recommend.
I replaced the screen and group head gasket as well, no problems there either.”
“Great kit, most of the seals you need to stop leaks in your Rancilio Silvia, However it is very dificult to disassamble the Steam wand, I ended up not using the kit and having to replace the entire Wand. This is because removing the innner parts of the steam wand after extended use is almost impossible without the exact correct tools, the screw in/out valve gets stuck and without a specialized wrench to remove it the last 2mm its non repairable without that tool.”
“Parts were excellent. Mostly needed a new gasket to fix the constant leak from my Rancilio Siliva but the new shower screen + screw had also deteriorated from overtightening so the whole kit was great!”
“Provides exactly the parts you need for an overhaul of a Silvia once it develops leaks via the steam valve or the group head. The only thing missing is a grommet for the steam valve tip, but that appears to never go bad and is not likely to be missed. No instructions are provided, however; for that one needs to search the web to find videos that show how to do the overhaul. It is not complicated, but it requires some unusual tools, especially a 23mm and a 15mm crescent wrench, and a means to remove a small nut holding the steam valve gasket in place.”
