Abstract: Let $k$ a field of characteristic zero. Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically rational $k$-surface. Let $mathcalT$ be a universal torsor over $X$ with a $k$-point et $mathcal{T}^c$ a smooth compactification of $mathcalT$. There is an open question: is $mathcal{T}^c$ $k$-birationally equivalent to a projective space? We know that the unramified cohomology groups of degree 1 and 2 of $mathcalT$ and $mathcal{T}^c$ are reduced to their constant part. For the analogue of the third cohomology groups, we give a sufficient condition using the Galois structure of the geometrical Picard group of $X$. This enables us to show that $H_{nr}^3(mathcal{T}^c,mathbbQ/mathbbZ(2))/H^3(k,mathbbQ/mathbbZ(2))$ vanishes if $X$ is a generalised Ch^atelet surface and that this group is reduced to its $2$-primary part if $X$ is a del Pezzo surface of degree at least 2.
