Excellent video to assist in the installation of the PID kit. Heads and tails better than the provided instruction manual. Neat job tidying up the wiring too. Thanks very much.

Just installed mine following your video. I'm usually very cack handed at anything like this but your excellent guidance helped me get it installed. Thank you. 😊😊

You have the best video I have found so far for general wiring maintenance on my Silva. Great video!

Bravo!!! Incredible video! Thorough and highly educational and well made!! Thank you dkaraboy!!

Nice work very tidy and thorough. Thank you for taking your time to do this.

Thanks for this great video, it's very helpful in combination with the installation instructions from Auber.

Thanks a lot for this install - saved me a ton of time !

Such a clear and calm video. Thanks for the info :)

Thanks you sir, followed your instructions, worked great. Many thanks.

Thanks dkaraboy, this vid helped me a lot on my Silvia V6.

Thank you , this was edifying.

Superb tutorial! I may have to do this on my anniversary black Miss Silvia.... Only missing the money shot of pulling a shot with the new PID. Thanks!

Thank you very much this one is a gem!

Thanks so much! This helped me a lot. Now the PID works on my V6 2020 like a charm.

Thank you. This video instruction is excellent !!

Excellent video. Thanks very much

Thanks a lot! It worked flawlessly on my M6!

If I could like this video 1000 times... I would :)

clean work!

Thank you

really great video thanks for your time and effort. I do quite some control work as an hvac tech & thought those smaller gauge wires would be 24vac never seen small wire like that pull 120vac I personally would never trust it from quite some experience of burnt wiring/controls

Amazing! I want to install my PID on my coffe machine

Excellent presentation. I installed a simpler version (no steam control) of the Auber PID on my Silvia about 8 years ago. It worked fine until last week when the PID display didn't light up. The boiler still heats, and the water pump functions. When installing the PID I placed the relay behind the front face plate of the Silvia. Now, upon removing that plate I noticed that the when the machine is on the LED lamp on the relay is not lit. In your opinion, does this indicate a problem with the relay? Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for the video, I have one question: how do you put it on steam now? Does the Auber PID have an option to (instantly) jump up to higher temp? (like 135c?). Or do you have to keep in the steam thermostat and use that? I'm interested in doing this mod. Cheers

Excellent video. Which model is this Silvia?

Nice video, where did you buy the parts for the pid?

Hi! First off, thank you for posting this video. It gave me the confidence to build this myself. So, I bought the kit, and installed it... Great! it works. Unfortunately about 20 minutes later after assembling the machine, the heat generation completely stopped. Before I was getting up to 280 F (I have no idea why the Auber controller let it go that high) , but now the machine won't heat at all. I am a little bit fearful that I broke the machine, but I've got absolutely no idea what went wrong. Could please you tell me which wires go to the heating element? Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong? Like I said before, the machine was running (and i have a video to prove this). Thank you very much Mark

At 13:20 you mention the plastic/silicon tubing to protect the wires from getting cut by the sharp edges of the machine. Do you know if that comes with the PID kit, or do I need to go to order separately? If so, any thoughts on the size tube? Any Amazon link that you could share? Thanks in advance. BTW, great video.

Is there a link to buy the kit?

Rancilio makes a great machine, my only gripes about it are the drip tray is shallow and it sucks, needs a drain or to be bigger, the water compartment needs to be bigger, and the steam wand take forever and a day to open! To be fair, the steam wand has commercial power and it pulls a great shot, I don't like the strange positioning of the portafilter, more a fan on the gaggia classic honestly.

Yes, you might be able to disassemble the siliva without this video... But you would not be able to put it back together ;)

Where to get cheap pid price

Is the PID box really held in place by two-sided tape? How long will that adhesion last with heat, moisture and gravity? From my experiences with different brands of two-sided tape, I see problems not long down the road.

We're does the ground get Connected to?, Great Video very Helpful!.

Where can I get the kit?

I've heard mixed reviews of the pre-infusion function, that since it just burst fires the pump at full pressure it damages the puck. What has your experience been? Is it worthwhile?

Just purchased the Auber kit for brew temp only. The instructions show the solid state relay (SSR) should be mounted on the wall behind the splash guard panel (behind the steam wand). It looks like your SSR is mounted towards the back of the machine on the bottom. My instructions don't even call for the back panel to remove as you did. I wonder if this is the difference between the two different Auber PIDs??

Hello. good job. Can you tell us how you installed the pressure gauge on the machine, please?

Can I use this for my Oscar II (OPV with Sirai Pressurestate mod)?

What version of R Silvia is your machine?

Hi, its posible install this auber Pid in other machine Singler boiler with similar caracteristics?? Thankss

Thanks a lot. I did manage to do the installation but taking off the wires once connected is close to impossible I mistakenly connected brew red wire to steam wire and it refuses to come off so I interchanged the red brew wire with black steam wire even that was difficult and I ended up break insulation so I just taped that part. Machine is working fine . Shouldn't give me any problems no?

I have an older Rancilio Miss Silvia (2005) , will this technique apply to the older machine?

Hello, just a very quick question, where is the ground wire going to？

Hi, I have a V5 silvia and wanted to know if there would be any change in the process of installation or will it be the same?

any link or source for getting the PID kit??

how do you "cover" the old thermostat hole? what material?

I'm blind about these sorts of things as I'm no technician. Is the PID automatically manage the temperature or just for showing the temperature inside the boiler?

all good but used a thermocouple outside the boiler im not sure that a good idea. pid will get temerature signal about outside surface of boiler not a water inside. because side walls of boiler is too thik we have some inertia in the measurements

Where can I purchase this PID mod?

Hi there! very informative video. i have a question though, can i buy the same auber PID kit for a 220V (european) Rancilio Silvia?

A quite complicated job. Definately not for me to do this. Always afraid if somethng goes wrong.

And price raise US$1000

Couldn't figure out how to get thosee fucking power cables at 11:30 connected, thanx!

Or just buy a machine with a PID and it saves you time and money. Never understood why folks make it hard.
