My replacement valve (original Bosch part) didn’t fit correctly - after it was mounted, the light plastic part couldn’t be moved forth and back without getting stuck from time to time, so the machine wouldn’t be able to brew any coffee afterwards. I fixed it by reusing the light plastic part from the old valve. The machine works perfect now!
