No experience with Hyundai I’m afraid. My Karcher was not pressuring a while back, the motor was running but whereas if you don’t pull the trigger it should turn off once it gets up to pressure the motor just kept running. There was a defect in the cylinder head which let water leak out of the high pressure side. The new cylinder head was about £40. Pretty easy to change too. the original CH was shit plastic, the new one is aluminium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a look at the pipe and lance tomorrow, if no joy with that I will bin it, only wanted it to jet wash the paving slabs down the side of the bungalow, when it rains they are as slippery as buggery,.....Thanks anyway.

I was riding along and saw a what i thought was a lump of mud on the road but as i got on top of it it turned out to be a baby rabbit. The front wheel passed it but the stupid thing went to run instead of staying still and went under the back wheel i didn't feel a thing but i suspect it was different for the poor rabbit, i went back to check on it and it was still alive but obviously not going to survive so i couldn't just leave it and had to finish it off, quite sad really if someone prepared and cooked it for me i would quite happily eat it but found myself shutting my eyes and wincing as i ran over it a few more times to finish it off.

Clive Posted May 7, 2024 Share Posted May 7, 2024 Iam taking the car in to the garage on Thursday, they gonna stick a endoscope in the head, see if the bit is lodged somewhere, or if it has gone out of the port. Running OK at the moment, no tinkling sound any longer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
