Replaced the leaking manifold but now the motor runs continuously without pumping!

I went to Kaercher here in Austria , you are meant to put 5W 40 oil in the chamber , not the grease ..... the grease is used for the seals and rubbers .....

This is at odds with Karcher UK advice. Perhaps you have different machines in oz?

Hi I've had my K4 Full Control in bits several times and eventually replaced the cylinder head and hey presto it was no longer leaking. However after reassembling there is no high pressure. Does the bottom part of the cylinder head have to go in a specific place or as its triangular can it be any order. Or an other suggestions as to the problem and how its resolved? thanks

@stimpetta 2 ай бұрын

Yes, the bottom part can go in any way around. Sometimes a very small bit of dirt can block the holes in or out of the plastic head. I (now) always take all the white plastic valves and springs out and give them a wash before reassembly. Hope this helps. Oh and don't forget to clean the pull out plastic filter where the garden hose connects to the machine.

A very useful video. Is there a torque setting for the head bolts?

@stimpetta 3 ай бұрын

Thanks. I'm not sure what torque they should be. But very tight... to loosen them you should need to stand on the metal body of the assembly and loosen with an allen (hex) key in a on a ratchet.

Had the switch not working on mine, turned out to be the the internal spring that operates the alloy lever assembly onto switch, the spring had rusted and snapped, karcher rip you off for the complete assembly as they dont sell the spring separately, I managed to find a spring supplier who I got some from, rebuilt it which worked fine, also had to buy the top sections of pump assembly as they were causing a leak, rebuilt now works great ! 👍

@stimpetta 4 ай бұрын

Yes, I have seen this too. A nice stainless steel spring would be good! I have also fixed a switch that was not working. These can be levered apart and the contacts cleaned, reassembled and save you £6 for a replacement switch :)

Same issue here....Whee did you buy new spring? Please share links if you bought online?

Where has all the oil gone 😨

@Ninjavaz 8 ай бұрын

Just had the same issue. Replaced the top part of the pump. It’s a failing piece common to all of them. Couldn’t see the crack even with it disassembled and because the top metal shield covers it in use, you cannot really see where the leak is. I think I paid around £20 for the new part and machine is good as new again.

@Mr4fksake 2 ай бұрын

Yeah also had to renew both top sections, fixed it all for 50 quid and then Lidl sold brand new ones for 50 quid with a 3 year warranty !

@tonyprice7873 10 ай бұрын

It’s the black plastic control unit that’s leaking. You’ve left it in the shed with water in it over winter and the water has frozen causing the plastic to break. It needs a new control unit IMO.

@stimpetta 10 ай бұрын

That could be the cause. I found I made a mistake on reassembly. I put too much antiseize on the bolts and this seems to have stopped them going all the way in. After meaning out it all bolted together and worked

What grease is it? Part Number? I can't seem to find out the correct type online I couldn't make it out on the video. Thanks

@stimpetta 8 ай бұрын

Not sure of the part number. We think it might be some sort of PTFE grease (?) it costs £70 a tube from Karcher. TBH I might try some lithium grease at that price.

@@stimpetta £70 a tube? a brand new K4 is only 200!! they clearly want it to be uneconomical to repair them.
