Kärcher spare parts.

My old karcher washer is starting to leak oil.

I need three Grooved ring rubber washers and a rubber seal. I thought I was onto a winner with espares.ie, the price was €12+€7for postage which is a rip off, but bought them anyway, weeks later I find a email from an post in my junk mail, wanting another €10+ for custom duties etc. I said no, send it back.

So does anyone know where I can get these parts.

Try Karcher supply center in Ballymount directly. Early this year I needed to replace a pump manifold on a K4 that had cracked and was leaking water on compression. Had looked up the part online prior and they were £40 from the UK excluding postage and possible customs charges. Called into Karcher in passing to see if they had any and was prepared to pay €50 for the convenience. They didn't have any in stock but had one ordered and couriered out to me within 3-4 days for €40 all in. Were great to deal with and was pleasantly surprised they weren't charging the habitual rip off republic surcharges.

For something as small as washers and seals they should be able to send out in the post regardless of where you're based.

You can get hundreds of different o-ring spares by the box from many online suppliers (screwfix etc)

e.g. €17 for this

Yeah but not the same, it's a seal around the 3 "piston" type rods which make the pumping, they need to be exact as they hold back the engine oil.

The seals are this type.

But the funny thing is, after I clicked on the an post button/link to say I'm not paying theses customs charges and send them back, I received them from the postman a few days later without any charges. Job is now done and power washer is now perfect.

This happened to me - paid for express shipping via DHL (from UK) - DHL kept my parcel for two weeks without telling me they had it - when I complained they just delivered it without collecting customs charges.

- then I got a threatening bill with "TNT Delivery" letter head in the post a couple weeks later :(

Letters got progressively more threatening over the year and I eventually caved in any paid it - but at which stage I couldn't pay online anymore and had to jump through lots of hoops to get them to take the money :( :(

I'd never pay extra for DHL again.
