What is the best way to remove and replace the WUR? I have checked Haynes, Clymer and Chilton on the proper way of removal. No detailed info.

Any ideas? Estimated time to R & R?

well there isnt really any info that I am aware of to rebuild them, but perhaps do a board search,

as per removal/reinstall,
take the coil out of its bracket, and you can then get at it,
the tools needed for the WUR, a 12mm wrench, a 14mm wrench, and a 6 mm allen key,
to get the coil out you will need a 10mm wrench/socket, and possibly a flat head crewdriver,
that should be all, just dont drop the 4 crush washers for the WUR, and when you reinstall do NOT over torque the banjo bolts as they tend to break easy and then you will be in a bind trying to find one.

Do you remove the WUR first than the lines? Or lines and then WUR?

Thanks for your help.

you can do it either way, but I normally removed the top line and just loosened the bottom line,
I found it was easier to NOT loose the crush rings if I removed the bolt once it was in my hand

I was also looking in Haynes and I couldn't find much info on the wur or how to test it.

I thought my low iddling problem during warm up might be due to the wur so I want to know how you can test it.

new wurs are pretty expensive around 240 U.S so I don't want to guess mine is bad.

Check out the following Website:

www.rockauto.com

WUR - Beck Arnley == $70.79 with 17.00 core charge. Rebuilt

I also purchased fuel injectors. Beck Arnley $38.79 Each.

Rock Auto has all items shipped dirctly from Factory Warehouse points. They will send e-mails about your order, and you can check your tracking of the order.

One thing to keep in mind, a 30 year old Porsche parts are not keep in any real quanitities at warehouses. I order the WUR on Saturday and it should arrive today Monday. The warehouse only had one unit.

I have been real happy with Beck Arnley parts. They just fit right.

All amounts are US Dollars.

I've had too many bad experiences with Beck-Arnley parts, would never buy them again, especially not for a WUR. JMO.

I had great success with replacing the WUR on my 77 924. The car starts up after running - engine warm, the idle has smooth out, lots more power.

Thanks for your help!

Please post back if you have problems with the Beck Arnley part. I've heard the same as Vaughan and am curious now. If you don't have a problem, it would be a good source for the WUR for others.
