Hi all,
I searched but havent found an answer. The steam wand on a linea 2 Group is leaking, and it is not from the steam wand valve which was rebuilt recently but from the connection of the wand the body of the valve (where the clip attaches) ... picture is better explanation i guess.
1- is there a way to fix this ? or do i have to buy a new wand ?
2- what is the difference between these two wands : MZ_19 and MZ_18 , there is a big difference in price

You can buy just the two viton o-ring, I think LM USA sells them, p/n L171/2.
Note that if you buy the steam wand rebuild kit for some reason it has everything but the swivel o-ring.
If you want to buy the whole wand you need the new cheaper wand not the discontinued one as it has hole for the vaccuum breaker.

Thank you boost,
I just ordered them, LM website down so ordered them from espresso parts.
I got confused because i couldnt feel any rubber rings in the steam wand.. maybe they are totally gone, but i will try to get some long enough needle in and double check.
The rebuild kit i bought came with two extra O rings that i didnt know where to place , they are the same as L165/6 (so i got 4 x L165/6 in my kit) but i dont think they are the same as L171/2
It is sad that it is not included in the kit, it is the first to go bad !!
Thank you so much for your fast help
