Sorry about the spelling!
I'll fill in the machine details when I see the machine again - currently don't have it to hand.
I wanted to start this thread off before I forget AGAIN!

We have a Dehlongi Caffe Corsa coffee machine that is leaking!
We have tracked it down to a small white/clear pipe at the top inside.

Now, my question is, who else has replaced this pipe?
On the dehlongi parts page there are two advertised, but I can't match it up exactly and I don't want to buy the wrong one.

Anyone know please? Have you DIYd yours?

Thanks.

    Mate of mine mended his using YouTube vids. Got the parts of eBay IIRC.( I think his is a DeLonghi.)
    If you go to YouTube and search for "DeLonghi Corsa Coffee Machine Repair" you'll see the videos.

    Thanks Jackmydad.
    Yes you tube was good for tracking down the leak and opening the machine up.
    But DeLonghi help line don't know which pipe it is either which is a pain!

    There are a few that look the same and if we take a chance and buy one, it's bound to be another!
    The diameter is millimeters difference.

    Thank you though.

    Just having a look on Google
    Somebody in the reviews here
    http://www.4delonghi.co.uk/coffee-maker/tube/product.pl?pid=1602361&path=54536
    (No connection to me)
    Says they emailed a pic of their tube and the people at the site sorted them out.
    Worth a go?

    Try looking for Delonghi spares.

    Many companies also give photos of individual parts or exploded diagrams.

    IN the past, I've used eSpares and found both their website and call centre staff very helpful (I have no links with the company).

    Good luck.
