Teardown Karcher K2 Pressure Washer

[@andrewboxall8460]

I learnt a vital lesson here, and avoided a mess. Keep the whole motor upright so as not to have oil all over your work bench when removing the cylinder head (at 17.34 mins to 17.55). Do this by wrapping the motor in a big old work sheet, (Swiss roll style) enough to give it a tight fit then place it in a plastic builders (12 ltr) bucket. Now you have two hands free to work more efficiently. Do the same when replacing with new oil.

I wish I would have seen this video sooner.... today I've made the same mistake and the oil spilled out of gearbox... I was attempting to find out from where I have a a quite massive water leakage when pump is running. Lesson learned...

[@kellenjordy7855]

You prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me atm you can stream all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last weeks =)

[@kodyleon8639]

@Kellen Jordy yup, I have been using instaflixxer for since november myself :D

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Most time that valve system on the bottom. Cracks. Either the water hose connection or the outlet hose. Each time we jam in the hose the plastic moves and that probably cause it to crack over time. Second it's hard plastic and plastic degrades over time. That's my guess. I've seen other repair videos of this model, the crack happens more on certain K2 models then the other. There are 2 different valve systems I believe. I saw a video about that, they showed which model tends to crack more easily then the other

18:09 lesson #1 don't do that! Loved that bit 👍🏻👍🏻🤣😂

I'm trying to open my Karcher but can't tell what kind of screws are holding the case together because they're deeply recessed.. Are those Torx screws? What size? Thanks much.

[@LuisRuizGuate]

T15 t(torx)

[@lucasrooney181]

How do you get the damn handle off it for packing away in storage (please) ?????

[@makaveli7771]

I wish I remembered watching your video.. I F...ed up oil everywhere, is it necessary to put oil back on it?! As it would he a fiddly job trying to juggle oil in without making a mess. Did you manage to repair the leak? Cheers

[@muhammadumar2856]

My karcher k2 water leak from outlet connection from base ND bcz of this pressure is low.what the reason plz

[@johannstander229]

How much oil?

[@erwansaputro7691]

With 15-40w How much oil should i put in to the gearbox.

[@seanwren1415]

Enough to cover the plates at the bottom of the housing

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Did you also put it together in a working condition again?

[@astralalienvideo]

No, I researched the cost of new parts - forget it. So I waited to see if any other broken units became available - no. So in the end I gave up and bought an Also one.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@astralalienvideo ah I see. What was the actually problem with this one?

[@corres78]

Very informative video. Thank you. A question if you do't mind: What is the purpose of the ventillated wheel on the front? And can the machine do it's job without the yellow cover? I mean just in the white cover.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

If I'm correct it's for circulation of air. This engine is air-cooled since it quite boxes in. Better have something to get cooler air in

[@juancarloscazun1530]

I have no ideas how to solve the problem of the valves are covered

[@kennethtucker9844]

Every screw that secures the outer and inner covers is the same but you used three different types of driver to undo them you will also find that the wheels come off easily so the screws under them are more accessible

[@vhiftyyi]

what gear box oil do you put back into it? I messed up step 1, which was "don't do that." I spilled almost all of my gear box oil, but have no idea what goes back in.....

[@VR6MIKE]

You can buy a specific pressure washer oil on ebay. its value is 15w40

[@mauriciod56]

Hi there! I need to know values of capacitor in this pressure washer. ¿Can you help me? I would appreciate it. Have nice times

[@sammyfani]

Very informative video. Thank you.

[@marcebarros2427]

La mia no tira agua que sera?

[@donaldsmith1178]

You really help me to get to bare bones of it

[@davidreid2301]

You pull the cylinder head off. It’s just a rubber seal holding it in. Just watch the valves don’t spring out as they are on springs.

[@johnhill1421]

Sorry mate I nodded off and your still on the outer casing screws did I miss anything zzzzzzzzz

[@astralalienvideo]

yes

[@Sidehustlesu]

Any idea where to get a replacement part?

[@astralalienvideo]

I've had a quick look around (amazon), I'm going to wait untill another machine turns up for cheap.

[@lyfoon]

[@appappmad]

In the time it took just to take the case off... I've ordered a new one from Amazon. Be here tomorrow

[@adry0209]

what type of oil i need?

[@astralalienvideo]

I don't know exactly, some research on the internet suggests 15w40. www.wer-weiss-was.de/t/kaercher-hochdruckreiniger-welches-oel/4039500

Cómo resolver el problema de las válvulas de mi kacher están dañadas y no sé cómo resolver el problema

[@duncanhowarth9514]

I'm sure, if you'd tried and set your heart to it, you could have cluttered your workbench with even more items. Next time try coiling the power cable and pressure hose and putting together with everything else on there. If nothing else it will certainly add to an even more cluttered and confusing video.

[@SheerInstinct]

There's no issue. If you couldn't keep track of what was happening here then you are not what one would call a "competent person" for the job. Stay away from DIY and either buy new or send to the repair shop as you would probably somehow start a fire even with the machine being unplugged.
