Brilliant, worked for me... first time I repaired anythings like this. Thank you. For pulling the difficult to get to pin from the handle, a pointy pliers worked.

Thank you for this bud! Had mine about 3 years must of used it 4/5 times had 5 minutes this morning and poof it blew, stripped it apart ( thanks to you lol ) and it’s the same bit, I contacted Karcher who basically blamed me for incorrectly setting it up and said I used the wrong hosepipe 🙄 cheers again 🫡

Hey Man, you've done a great job here. I know a lot of people including me having the same problem. Official repair cost 180,-- Euro. I'am disappointed about Kaercher Quality which seems to be no longer Made in Germany. I've put my K4 into the garbage/recycling and for sure Kaercher is no longer my favourite. There are other vendors which are doing much more better, but for a higher price and better quality instead of using cheap plastic materials. Take care. Martin

Thanks. I have a Yr old K4. There are no issues so far, but I'm glad to know I can fix if that problem occurs. However, I might struggle to remove the leaking bit as I don't have your strength!

Mine has an internal leak, no doubt it'll be the same part, which begs the question, is this by design from karcher? I'll be stripping my K4 either today or tomorrow. One thing I do know is, my next pressure washer won't be Karcher... Probably Ava as they seem to be taking the game seriously and listening to customer feedback

I've had mine for a while and have abused it, so I don't mind a small repair every few years if it keeps it going, I've seen the ava ones, abbit too pricey for me to get atm, but I'd love to try one 😂

Also the first u pin you need to pull just look on the opposite side of the pin you will see 2 holes where the legs of the pin is sticking out. Just poke this and the pin pushes out enough to get a grip of it✌️

I love karcher I started with the smallest and went up the ranks to the k4 full control. We have the big carpet cleaner aslo. The problem I've seen in the past 3 models of pressure washer is the same part failing minus 1 where the whole manifold had 3 hairline cracks . Only Gets used for 2 cars every Sat/sun so not over used kept in heated garage. The carpet washer was £500 at the time and the rubber hose that pumps water to the sprayer split and nearly ruined our carpet. This seems to also be a common failure point looking on forums. Fantastic machines across the whole range but need to make the failure point from aluminium like the elbow in this video on the pressure washers and more rubbery flexible hoses on the carpet range. Thanks for the video bud

If you’ve not got any water resistant grease you can also some Vaseline. It’s also water resistant and provides lubrication on seals and is safe on plastics

I didn't expect the motor to just fall out of my karcher k4 either. It fell straight onto the on/off lever snapping it inside the electric box, made a fairly simple job twice has hard. So just be careful folks.
