Hi thanks for your video I have a K5 that when engine is running water under pressure is bypassing the plastic piece to which the detergent pipe is attached , should there be high pressure on the internal side to do this or do I have another problem
thanks for the video. .May I ask You how much was for the parts ? My one leaking aswell and I would prefer to do this job myself instead taking to the service
I have the K5 Premium Eco unit and I'm trying to change the hose, it does not look like its a quick fit design, any ideas please. Thank you and great video
hi david,just watched your video to repair leak on k5 i found the leak its from the 2 black hoses but cannot seem to pull them out is there something im not doing ,hope you can help me thank you
Witam. Posiadam myjke Karcher k5 myjka działała normlanie lecz teraz gdy właczam slychac przygotowaniendo pracy natomiast po naciśnieciu pistoletu brak rekacji. Jedynie dziala gdy pistolet wcisne i włacze to wtedy jest oki. Jakies sugestie?
I took the one I got at a garage sale apart. It looks that the pressure cover peice is cracked. Paid $40 dishonest garage sale sellers. Is it worth fixing? 60cdn for the piece. And not sure if anything else leaks. Also not sure if I got some water in the motor side.
Note to all. Please don't pull away the outer casings like this man has. Some models have 'slide off' tabs and will break if you copy his method of tugging with force.
I'm not showing how to take a part I'm show the hassle I went through for no reason and enforsising that for this problem you should not take it apart in my way or your way, but please if your going to tell every one not to do something in a certain way give a video showing the correct way or your just stopping people doing anything
I gave one of them Karcher K5's away for free because it was leaking , £25 would have fixed it and these machines are about £300 plus new , i feel sick now haha
Karcher don't want their machines repaired, but because of the "right to repair law" they have to give information and spares for up to ten years, that does not mean they have to sell the spares at a reasonable price, after all they are plastic parts not made to last and not worth the price, this is the way they try to get you to buy a new machine. But what they don't think of is, when you get a bad reputation people stop buying your goods and Karcher is not as good as it used to be.@@dmgladden
Like the caveman style 😁 the other wheel literally broke off 😂 i just removed the yellow thing in the tire first and then rest of the tire just drops out no force needet
Managed to repare my K5 thanks to your video yesterday. Keep up the good work! Thx!
Definitely simplified the repair for me. Thanks for sharing
Another great fix and video thanks David and remember stay safe 🍺🍺👍👍
Thanks for the tutorial, I have a K 5.68 with low pressure.. I will replace the cyl head. Take care..be safe. Cheers..

Where can I order the replacement oring and plastic housing?

Maybe try running anti freeze through it before winter. A hose and funnel pouring it high above the unit should work

Thanks for. the video David, great and clear videos helped perfectly :)
Could you please tell the part number you use? Thanks
I’m struggling to get the replacement cap to sit so that I can screw it tight. I’ll keep trying
where did you find those replacement parts??
I guess the way we find everything these days Google search

The best video save hiring man there nothing soft or cheap or free hire people to fix machine car nowadays
Good man your self!!!

Why did it leak,using cheap Chinese bits or is it meant to pack in I have scraped 2 units lesson learned
No it's as it was made but it's about how it's stored in winter as you can't fully drain them so if it freezes it can split things inside
@@dmgladden exactly made to fail built in design fault, I like your channel how about what you recommend
@@Newit2 Thank you, as for a recommendation all I could think of is store it in a warm place where it won't freeze
Fair enough... just seemed a bit rushed.
Slow down a bit!
hi Phild really you think a 20 min video on fixing a leak is rushed
@@dmgladden
Thats how it came across David sorry.
I gave one of them Karcher K5's away for free because it was leaking , £25 would have fixed it and these machines are about £300 plus new , i feel sick now haha
Yes and many are put in the skip that's why I thought it a good idea to show how to fix them but I'm no expert I just show what I learn as I fix mine
@@dmgladden hi David

Endless money pit these things!
Like the caveman style 😁 the other wheel literally broke off 😂 i just removed the yellow thing in the tire first and then rest of the tire just drops out no force needet
it´s K3, not K5
I’d rather pay someone to fix it for me just because I’m too busy running my business
