c6003, c6004 pcu

I have yet to try this.

So just to confirm what you are saying I only need to carry a xx04 K PCU and this will fit as colour & black on ALL the METIS models? (except C2xxx)

No, you need to carry xx04 Black drum and xx04 Color drum.

I agree the rebuild kits don't last.

However the black & colour PCU look different so how can you fit a black as colour?

Curious are these Ricoh rebuild kits or chinese knockoffs?
I have swapped a couple chinese drums on low meter return with a small scratch or pin hole and so far so good..
Not heavy volume accounts so i feel safer doing that..

OK, so if I can fit an XX04 K to colour why do I need to carry colour PCU when I can fit a black!?

The bk pcu is a little more money but has a larger lube bar and 400k life colour is 270k

The black and color are interchangeable but the black does have a larger lube bar and will last longer. And the 03 and 04 are interchangeable as well. The 04 are typically cheaper. That said they are interchangeable on the 30 ppm and up. The 20 and 25 are unique, although interchangeable among themselves..

And the dev units are unique between 03 and 04 whether 20ppm or 30 and up.

Ok, here is an update. I used a c6004 pcu and installed it into a c6003. All was well. However, when I tried to install a pcu from a c6003 into a c6004, it will not fit.

This makes no sense.

'The ford wheel fitted on my Chrysler but the Chrysler wheel did not fit my Ford'

Can you elaborate as to why it would not fit?

I don't understand how you did it?....the 6003 pcu have differente gap in the plastic frame to coupling the developer unit of 6004, (dont coupling with pcu), and the developer unit of 6003 connector have 9 wire vs the 6004 that instead have 6 wire.

to make matters worse, not even the loose parts are the same, the OPC of 6003 is a few millimeters longer than the 6004 and not match in 6003 pcu frame

The '03 color pcu mounted up with the '04 development unit just fine. However, it will not slide into the machine fully. It stops about 10mm out. It seems there is something on the pcu frame itself that is blocking full insertion. So I took it apart again and remated back to the dev unit and tried it again- no joy. I then took out another color from the '04 and compared the 2 pcu's. There are slight differences in the design, but I still cant see exactly where the malfunction is occurring. Weird. I went ahead and ordered an '04 color pcu.
