Très intéressant tutoriel.

Une heure me semble suffisant comme temps nécessaire.

À propos de « Note: there is another gasket on the shaft of the lower piston. Replacing it is difficult », c’est justement ce joint qui semble défectueux. J’ai pu l’enlever et le remettre, mais n’en ai pas trouvé de remplacement (-:

Maybe this one. It’s from Nivona, but the brewing unit is the same:

I have problem with my brewing unit of Siemens EQ 3 S300. Can you have an instruction to open it?

Thanh Nguyen Duc - Reply

The Siemens EQ 3 is a total (newer) different design . There are some videos (in german), e.g. this one. Using the german word for brewing unit - “Brüheinheit” or “Brühgruppe”, you can find other videos or guides.
