I have determined that my WUR on my '82 924 NA went bad on me. Looking at it it appears easy to replace. My question is what size of a Torx is required for the bolt as I am only familiar with SAE bolts? Also are there any tips in replacing it to make life a bit easier as I have to replace it in the driveway as there are cold start issues?

Thanks.

Yes, allen screws. Don't recall the size off hand.

Figured out it is a five. Now am trying to figure out how to get my biiiiig hands on the bottom one.

I got to the bottom one by pulling the coil out of its holder, turning the heater all the way on (this moves the linkage on the valve out of the way) and having a friend hold everything else back towards the firewall.

It also helped that the AAV and its hose were removed, as was the CSV and its cabling.

I have to do this job soon too, not looking forward to it. Gonna loose lots of knuckle skin i think.

I'm buying a new car soon so the 931 will become my play thing and i can really start playing around with it.

Like some other posters i spent many years with Triumph TRs. In comparison, the electrics on the 931 puzzle me. And i thought Lucas electrics were bad. I have to kick the fuse box while driving when the volt meter and stereo stop working. Can't find anything wrong, just needs an occasional nudge to work properly.

All of my running problems can be traced back to one electrical gremlin or another. Are 924/ 931s known for electrical problems or is this just a sign of age.

I have my WUR mounted with only one of the bolts, seems to work fine and makes the change waaay easier if you plan to swap around a bit

No, 9XX Girl. The fuse box, and hood (bonnet) release on LHD are both on the driver's side. If boot means trunk release---- sorry do not have one.

Hmmm... It always makes me laugh that on RHD cars, the passenger could pop the bonnet (hood) quite easily while you were driving.

So some 924s don't have a boot (trunk) release switch?
