    Hey guys, so I'm having a problem with my Karcher K5 pressure washer it has started leaking from this pipe I've attached in the pictures. Doesn't seem to be any visible cracks in it but when connected up the water jets out out of it in little squirts which keeps the pump running because it can't build up pressure. Do I need a new part or am I missing something? Bare in mind the pressure washer is about 4 to 5 months old and light use since I bought it.

    It's the black pipe at the top with the nut on it.

    If it’s only 4-5mths old is it not still under warranty?
    Having said that it’s likely a seal has gone. I’m not sure if spares are available, others may know and be able to help.

    I had the same problem with my K5, Just bring it back and they should replace it. there is two year warranty on them.
    I got mine in Halfords, just brought it back and they gave me a new one

    Same thing happened my k5 recently , there is a two year warranty on them .
    Call karcher in Dublin and they will get it collected off you, repaired and returned to you.
    Having said that they sent mine back unrepaired despite an engineers report enclosed stating that it had been tested etc.. after much Calls and emails to them they eventually sent me out a new replacment .
    I personally would nt buy another karcher washer ,the quality seems to have really gone downhill imo.
