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

    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

    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

    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

    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
