Watching a lad service a pressure washer on a Saturday night. This is what all the kids have to look forward to. Feckin mid thirtys.
🤣🤣 not just me then.
Hell, I’m in my mid 20s 🤣☠️
Best “awful truth” comment ever.
34 here and relate to this so much haha 😂
I'm pushing 50.
While I love the Guru’s content for tips and overall enjoyment, I genuinely watch because he cheers me up with his comments and quirks. So, just saying I’m grateful
It’s always worth reading between the lines with me!
One of best on here
Love the way you used a 'general purpose towel' most of us would just grab the nearest rag :)
Awesome video, well explained, couple of things I noticed the grey end of the high pressure hose usually goes on the gun end (unless the gun has a integrated swivel), also the small lance nozzles you are using are either worn or a larger size causing lower than normal pressure (unless you have it turned down on the red knob) lastly the oil may go milky again if the oil chamber was not completely cleaned.
Would love to help you out if you need help 👍
i used to service and repair 'that other German brand mostly yellow, black or gray and begins with K..' and a tip for fitting new pumpseals is to grease them up, and let them soak in hot ( like tea water hot) for a little while. the chance of dammaging seals is less when they are a little bit more flexible, and yes there is a tool for that. I saw that the oil turned quite milky coloured. This might be caused by the plungers being damaged. check with your fingernail over the part where the plunger and seal(s) make contact, if you can feel any obstical, ( make sure it's not debree) than you should replace the plungers to.
Its water mixing with oil which turns into a milky substance, most like due to seals or Orings being worn out. and I agree to warm the seals and lubricate them a little bit of marine grease or ur preferred grease. I normally get long pin and clean the pin size holes all around the pump and soak the pump with vinegar with a pinch of salt to dissolve all the particles on every crevices or pinholes...Lastly ill check the fan and shroud on the back and also either wipe or repaint the pump as needed.
I work for that Danish brand mostly blue😂 Emulsified oil is because of worn oil seals. I mainly service Delta boosters.
Kärcher i think.
Sweaty Betty or sturdy brass-pumped German?
Sturdy brass.
Depends on how many beers you drank....
Sweaty brass-pumped Betty.
@@adhow12 I hear ya.
I love a good oil change. That old oil looked so water-contaminated
You can use an appropriately sized socket to press those seals home
The socket needs to be a tight fit to have a snug fit in the seals. You might need to add a little lubricant before inserting and tightening up🤔
@@AlfaGTA156 it couldn’t be any worse than a screwdriver!
@@AlfaGTA156 you use the socket as a drift
This is proof of how well the Kranzle power washers are build. Looking at the parameters, they are quite a bit more expensive when compared to similar Karcher or Nilfisk models, but it shows in how overbuilt it is. Despite being so neglected, it lasted for a really long time.
Tired as hell from the work today, but several minutes of the CCG (with the smooth accent) returns me to the world of living 🤤
My word, that oil was milky !!! The Kranzle is a good unit. I have the 1150T, now more than 20 years old.
Repair not Replace! Kudos to you. Looked liked a good project.
Another trick for putting the brass rings, is to use a socket of the closest size, that way you get even pressure when lightly tapping them with a rubber mallet.
I do that method when I'm resealing mine.
I just knew you wouldn't be able to resist getting the detail brush out :)
Quality made in Illertissen, greetings from southern germany!
Cool to see inside a quality compressor, nice one CCG.
Nice work. Its really satisfying when you can do something like that yourself.
She's good for another 7 years now. Well done.
You can't beat Kränzle, best pressure washer I've ever known. I also love the fact how mine still has "made in West-Germany" on it. That in itself is an indication of proper German engineering 😅
I had a West German tripod a few years back.
@@CarCleaningGuru Sachtler?
Most TH-camrs with this type of content you sometimes zone out. Guru has always kept my attention. Awesome content man keep it up glad to see the Kranzle got some love
Nice Video as always from the Pressurewasher Servicing Guru!
Nice maintenance on the Kranzle; quality product and you know it will last you for years. Sounded quieter after the self service. Well done mate.
Great to see a refurbished unit,as opposed to buying new, well done lad 👍
Was aiming to run this into the ground so I could get a new auto stop jobbie but it just wouldn’t die!
@@CarCleaningGuru retrofit the switch mechanism?
The fact that thing ran like a top with whole milk lubricating the insides proves the quality of the machine
A really great in depth video!
This video should've been labeled ASMR, freaking soul therapy right there 🤩
Farmer Jack had been looking for them !
Wow 7 years and just changing the oil yet it still ran like a champ? I think you just sold me on this thing.
To replace the brass fittings at the end of the film? Rather than a tricky screw driver? How about using a same sized socket and hammer? Give it a gentle tap and it will go in equally all round👍.
I would change the oil once again after it circulates a bit. Water in oil is one of the worst contaminants. Won't take more than 5min, and this second change will completely flush it off.
Been waiting for my damn Karcher to break for 3 years to get a Kranzzle, I must have the only reliable one they ever made 😡😂
I’m waiting on 10 years+ for my K2 to pack up and it just keeps going strong
@@kwl189 Literally i have a K2 that my dad gave me when he stopped washing his car and now it just keeps living while l use it weekly for my motorcycle 😂
@@ScaredTrout2nd My parents got this K2 and never used it once. So you can say I’m making use of it. However it was part of an era where Karcher made good stuff and tbf I take really good care of it in making sure I don’t hurt the pump unnecessarily. Now it’s being stubborn and isn’t dying. Not a bad machine but got nothing like the power these other machined have on TH-cam.
This gives me a "How it's made" from the discovery channel vibe😂
My Kranzle manual says the oil should be changed after the first 50 hours.
Exactly. And after that, every year or after every 250 hours, whichever comes first.
I didn't even know the Kranzle had oil, let alone the need to change it. Presumably the 50 hours is "finger on trigger time" so I'm probably only just approaching 50 after a year of weekend warrior washing
I've got a fairly new K7, I'll bookmark this for future reference thanks ccg
Look at @kranzlepressurewashers for their videos on servicing. They’re a kranzle dealer and service centre.
@@iangriff2170 thanks will do
maybe change the oil again after a short period? there obviously was a lot of water in the oil causing it to be white and looking like a milkshake.. another oil change will probably get rid of the remaining watery oil (:
Well done!!
She has been good and will surely thank you for the tlc.
love my Kranzle TST1152 - best pressure washer I've owned
I feel the same about my K2. It’s the only one I’ve owned.
Man and here I though obsessed garage was the first on the scene with kranzle 😳 nice video brotha I remember watching your green Bentley detail with the shag carpets!!!
Thanks for this 👍
Nice vid guru
Have you any documentation to prove these were the very toe nail clippers used by father Jack?
Wicked job Joe many more happy years and prosperity to Brother don't ever stop love your videos and always look forward to your videos to inspire me 👍👍👍✅
Been there done that, I even went as far as removing the plate to the chamber go clean out the old gunk. I will change the oil more often in the near feature. Mine looked not as bad as yours, but it was also contaminated to say the least. Nice job Guru 👍
I don't know if you have heard of him, but there is a youtuber Matt Moreman he runs the channel Obsessed Garage and he specializes in stuff like this. I would think about giving his stuff a look because the guns, wands, and quick connects he offers are some of the best in the world. I have a new kranzle from him on the way along with a bunch of his snazzy fittings and swivels. They really are some of the best you should check it out it makes the using experience 10x better.
Yeah this video (and my current set up) would likely give Matt nightmares lol. Only reason I haven’t got his wand solution is the import duty.
@@CarCleaningGuru Mosmatic Uk sells a very similar gun/wand package. Thanks for the vid 👍🏻
Yeh I’m pretty sure there’s a place not far from me that could build an almost identical solution.
@@CarCleaningGuru Maybe try reaching out to him, I don't doubt he would help you get one easier if that will help advertise his solution if you are down for that
Blimey!! I change the oil on mine every 3 months and have it serviced every couple of years. Look after your equipment and your equipment will look after you!!
Thank you for the video. Great information.
You were awfully cryptic lubing up those rods with that grease 🤣
Have you always been carrying the machine back and forth from you wash area and if so, is the machine suited for being carried around like that all the time?
Also, do you feel that the 7/122 is sufficiently powered or would you go for the 122/10 next time?
Since your at it, i would have open and clean the 6 valves on the front this will make the machine perform best like the day you bought it.
Bloody hell mate, that oil was so badly emulsified that I feel you were lucky not to have any main bearing issues. That said, I can advise that these little machines are quality items from new, so a fair bit of use/ abuse is tolerated easily. I used to sell and service these machines, so I’m not surprised to find that all is still ok with your machine. That bit of TLC now will serve you well. Nice little vid as always. Cheers👍🏻👍🏻
Yeh I’ll have a look at the bearings next oil change and replace with new if needs be.
Guru high time to make a video on how to service those DA polisher head . As always thanks 🙏 for amazing tutorial videos
i'd watch a guru video of you putting a dartboard up 😂 you've now given it the kiss of death and will be buying a new unit before xmas.
Indeed haha.
Nice one Joe, good to see its lasted 7yrs. I was expecting full on Brasso Liquid Polish mode to be activated, but alas not! 😁
If you have to remove the gauge at some point use thread tape or swak as its an npt thread. Good change of video!
Great vid!!! I could listen to talking for hours...it's different than most English.
Excellent father Ted reference
At 6:40 how much Glycerol did you use? Somehow the rubber cap came off mine so it all leaked out. Need to refill it.
Let's start a petition to get his voice on how it's made 😄
I want £17.26 per episode.
Fantastic, great work.
Just a tip and i know you've done it now, but those hard plastic washers are easier to fit with a suitable sized socket and gently knocked in with a rubber mallet :)
Would that not just crush them though? The ones I was fitting here were going in face-up so to speak so you couldn’t even rest them flat to be able to tap with a socket.
@@CarCleaningGuru It shouldn't crush them but i get what you mean with not being able to rest a socket on them.
Excellent video as always :)
Next time you can use a socket to get the rubber rings in
normal people: nah, I just couldn't bring myself to do this a little earlier.
TH-camrs: I deliberately waited longer than needed in order to film this entertaining video.
Petroleum-based grease will damage rubber; silicon grease would have been the better choice.
Great videos mate not too much of the speeded up film and the music keep up the good work
Superb video. Where did you get the spares from please?
Wow was that oil or milk, i change my oil 4 times a year. Nice how to video will remember when i do mine. Different model 1152 but motor likely the same.
Nice video
It looked like you had some dried oil on the side where the oil window cap is located and toward the bottom of the machine. I have a Kranzle 1322 and noticed a few drips of oil coming from underneath the unit. I'm wondering if the window cap loosens up and causes the drips over time. I'll have to take mine off the wall and check it out.
Tnx 4 sharing your insights!!
Only about 75 bar? Should be around 120..... Did you have the red valve wound out? My K10 122 TS is by far the best power washer I've ever had. New for 2021 is the Kranzle K12 130 not sure if it's available in this country yet, it's black and stealthy and no plastic box on top.
Edit - Jeez, Malcolm from AquaSpray said a few weeks ago that all Kranzle machines were in for a price hike, he wasn't kidding! Glad I got mine a few months ago.
Don’t think I had the valve knocked back no. Usually get around 100 using the standard lance, not sure if the stubby gun with wide fan would affect the pressure reading at the pump?
The 40 degree lance end reduces the pressure significantly.
If this was a 0 degree end /driveway cleaning nozzle you would get pretty much full pressure 👍🏼
I’m in the same boat, took 0 care of mine and am now bricking it as the price of kranzles are about to rocket up
When the oil is milky like that usually means it’s got water mixed in with it
Quite common on these with condensation. Had one for many years and serviced by a Kranzle rep twice, the oil is used for cooling and not lubrication and as such I have been assured it is ok. Obviously not ideal no, but it doesn’t seem to do any harm
This is why I never changed it for so long although I’ve since been told the oil does lubricate as well as cool 🤷♂️.
Welp, guess I should maybe service my entry level Karcher machine after seeing this
Now you've changed the seals it's going to leak now.
Exactly. It was basically self regulating by this point.
It was leaking before. Internally though. Thats how the gear oil got so milky.
Nice video. Mobil tin must be worth a few quid?
One Pound ;)
You should use silicone grease.
HI Wear can I buy these parts please can you recomend a web site . sleeves for valve housing and sleeves for leakage ring
Can you link a full service kit for the 1152TST please ?
Hello, what is the max working pressure the kranzle k7 can achieve ?
Ha ha your ace love the video
hallo ich habe kranzle 2160 und es nimmt kein shampoo auf was ist das problem hilfe danke.... saludos desde Bolivia
Hi guru what orifice nozzle size did you use on the gun? 025? 030?
Don’t know I’ve got loads, probably one too big looking at the pressure gauge.
his videos should be shown in English classes; I always learn a word or two. and I also bet, he's easily the most poetic car detailer out there 😅
FatherJack’s nail clippers 😂
You should use rubber grease on those seals, as normal grease can attack the rubber and make it expand and go funny. Then you'll loose your lovely tights seal you just got 🤣. Just a little tip for next time
True.. we use silicone based grease as it's safe for all o-ring materials.
What make of pump is in the kransel power washer
Throwing them hands.
I reckon you could talk to me about paint drying and I would be engrossed!
Miss your witty videos. Can't wait to see some more consistently
Two a month has always been the best I can realistically do 🤷♂️.
@@CarCleaningGuru true that. I guess I had several to catch up on and now I'm waiting for more. Thanks good sir!
Fair enough, I’m always working on one!
you haven't done the seals which stop the oil get contaminated with water , some expert
Don’t profess to be an expert, just having a go a.
was the old oil meant to look creamy? I have no clue
Not to that extent. It will turn white with condensation from the chamber which is ok but it shouldn’t be super thick and creamy.
Hey I have a quick question: I am not a native english speaker and always wondered what TLC stands for, I know what it describes but not what the individual letters stand for...
Hope someone can help me out here 😂
Tender loving care.
What a quality tool.. the cheap ones I buy can’t be serviced.. I’ve probably spent more on cheap Chinese junk I could have just bought one kranzle
Can use a socket and a hammer to work them in👍🏻
Fit and ready for more water, which apparently "you like to waste". :-)
Indeed!
Even the German spare parts look menacing
Mmm, chuckles... Yup.
What year did you first had this pressure washer?
He mentioned a decade.
My krazzles 8 years old and yet to have any maintenance done to it 🙈
Get in, someone’s even worse than me!
I thought oil based grease wasn't good for O rings.
Probably isn’t but it’s all I had.
This is correct. Petroleum breaks down rubber. Its always best to use lithium based grease on anything rubber. That being said, I am sure that in this application, little harm was done. As I've often said in the past... she'll be aight.
Silicone grease is best for O rings.
You want silicone grease
