    Credit Card skimmer/vandalism - Unitec POS

    I've heard and read about CC skimmers being installed in Gas stations in and around Austin. Never occurred to me that these idiots would try carwashes. Well they tried mine this past Sunday, in broad daylight, while customers were washing/waiting. All this just as my attendant clocked in for the...

    LW4000 Left limit on width measure - X22 with VT ?

    Getting "Left limit on width measure" error. This is during startup, when arm goes past the front to measure. Festoon is new (1 month old), replaced X30 (worn out) and the rusted pickets in the bridge. The wiring from J2-J3-J4 for the X22 is all disconnected, so it seems the big X22 sensor is...

    Coleman vac containers / totes

    Curious if anyone has found a replacement for the Coleman vacuum containers or totes. I have several blue Recycle totes, and curiously enough 1 (and only one) seems to be a perfect replacement. The coleman totes are 17"x20.5"x12" and the recycle tote (that fit) is 17"x22"x12". I ordered item#...

    Need: Used PDQ (LW4000 stainless) x 2

    I'm looking for 2 complete LW4000 (stainless) systems (all bay items, pump stand, dryer etc.). Don't need ACW. May consider M5 but prefer the old-style. Prefer low-car count and minimal rebuild. Will take care of delivery.

    Leak in Spray Arch Manifold / Horn

    On one of my LW4000 I have a leak in the spray arch manifold, where the side and top spray arms meet. I notice on the PDQ Parts list that there's an O-Ring kit and ball bearings that goes in the manifold. Additionally, the side arm has a lot of swing compared to my other bay, and on the HP...

    Splicing rear eyes - how ?

    Warning : newbie question :-) I started getting "rear eye" failures. After reading some posts, I've tried increasing the Y41 amp sensitivity, to no avail. So I've decided to replace the rear eyes (both Tx and Rx). New eyes have arrived. I spliced the cable in the T-bar, instead of replacing...

    Multi-coin acceptor - how ?

    One of my WS II is set-up strangely : it accepts quarters but dispenses $1 coins for change. It was like this when I bought it. Previous owner put a towel with paper clips in the hopper to prevent the quarters from falling into the hopper which contains $1 coins. The coin acceptor is a...

    Modem for WashSelect II

    One of my modems went out on the WashSelect II. Unitec shipped me a new one for $1495 (ouch !). A refurbished one costs $749. What is up with these prices ? I was desperate (leaving town) so I ordered one. And as if that wasn't bad enough, after replacing it I now can't dial-in using...

    LW4000 : help identiying leaking part

    Attached are 2 pictures of a some "push-lock" type connector that is used in the Vertical pump stand. There's a leak in one of these, so I took it apart, cleaned it and put it back. Still leaking. The white ring appears to be worn somewhat. I looked through catalogs and couldn't identify the...

    Washselect II lexan and LED

    On one of my Wash Select POS II units, the lexan is cracked and the LED (that comes on at dark) is not working. This is on the price display. Is it easy to change the lexan and the LED (I'm a Laserrwash newbie) ? I'm assuming I can buy the parts directly from Unitec ?

    LW4000 unloader regulator leak

    Need help identifying the unloaders/regulators on the LW4000 - newbie ;-) I see 3 unloaders on the (vertical) pump stand (picture below). It's obvious that one is for the LP and one is for the HP. What's the third one for ? It's got a leak. I took it apart - awfully dirty inside, cleaned it up...

    LW 4000 sensor problem : "back out"

    First off, I'm a LW4000 newbie. Have owned a 5-bay self-serve for 4 years, and just bought this 2 -bay automatic last month. Both bays have the PDQ LW4000 with Unitec POS II. BTW - as my first test, I replaced the leaking 1" swivel and boom hose yesterday (on Bay 1) - yeah ! Now, I have this...
