I recently had the 3 pipe connector on the vacuum pump problem. One pipe was broken off and the middle one had a fracture. This was causing the pump to over run and front nearside door to not lock.
I eventually got a connector, they are getting harder to source. It was thought to put the yellow tubes on, I had to use a soldering iron on cold to open them up a bit.
I now have everything working well, only problem is the boot still has over run. Mainly when I open the boot, it goes on for about 15 seconds, when this happens you cannot immediately close the boot, it can only be closed after the pump stops over run. I went along the white tube for the boot all the way and could not find any split or cracks.
Has anyone had anything similar?
