Karcher repair needed.
Got a Karcher HDS 550 and it is pressuring up perfectly but when the trigger is pulled the pressure drops and it runs as a tricle.
Any ideas or a repairer in Central Scotland please? 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..

karcher have repair and service agents in most large towns.in mcr we have mcc at stockport who are great. we also have a a few good independents who can fix most things.the only thing that stops them on newer karchers is the cost of spare parts and the electrics.

we've moved off karchers to kleenwells, a uk made brand that has low running costs and repairs.

If/when you find out its too expensive to repair:

These are way better than the Karchers I have owned http://www.screwfix.com/p/nilfisk-e140-3-9...240v/18406

When mine did that I strpped the valve block down, cleaned out the limescale and it's been fine ever since. Steve.

Hello

I used mine the other day and it would not work at first just a trickle, although you could hear it powering.


Somehow I had fitted the lance attachment wrong, had to use vice grips to remove then refitted and it worked fine.


So simple check is the attached lance in correctly?

I bought a new cylinder head and o ring set to repair my Karcher. Good price and fast delivery. Genuine spare parts.
Silly question but have you asked Google the same question..... That sent me to YouTube and we were away from there.

£22 was a lot less than a new one of whatever brand......apart from an Aldi one Rolling with laughter MY15.5 110XS CSW
