thanks for pointing this out, its doesn't have one, Im also noticing a lot of differences to this machine and most manuals/parts books I find... Weird!Originally posted by Jackster View PostIt looks like your machine is a thermosyphon heated group. So, if you don't have a restrictor in that top pipe, you should get one for it.
What it does is restricts the flow of boiling hot water from the top of the hx, and blends it with cooler water that is in the return loop to the bottom of the hx. A little difficult to tune, but results in a machine that needs much less of a flush.
That blocked restrictor meant that the group would not heat properly (no thermosyphon), and no matter how hot the boiler, the coffee was no where near hot enough, almost lukewarm.
Turns out it is a very nice Diadema for me!

VERY DETAILED sponsor form submitted, and if I get thats the listed part again!!! *insert inappropriate words*

Erm- possibly because they're run off their feet a couple of days prior to Christmas, have more pressing things to do than try to source a gauge that they might make $5 on and because almost all the parts importers knocked off late Friday?Originally posted by Sullo View PostWhy is it so hard to get the right gauge for this machine?

Amazing given that it was only last week that you realised you had the incorrect one.
I just so happen to have one I don't need and could also direct you to a sponsor that has them too, but you're on your own. I'll create a need for mine.
Merry Christmas

Sullo, you use more spare parts than the average poster here. I wonder if you are better served by starting a relationship ship with a parts supplier? Maybe someone like Coffeparts (ask here for advice on the most suitable ). Your ongoing business would be worth something to them and their advice and guidance would be useful to you. As Caffeinator points out, a sponsor knows the quote form is going to 20 or 30 others, why put all the effort in to search the part out for a potential $5 return? It isn't like a request 'have $6k to spend on a machine, what do you suggest'. While sponsors i am sure want to be helpful, you have to realise they need to make a profit or wont be here next year.
