I gave this module to some specialist in order to repair it but I am not sure he will be able to do so?
Please, check photos and let me know your opinion.
Thanks

I don't think you are going to salvage that central locking pump. You should see this part number on your pump . . .
1708000848
Be sure the replacement has that same part number. There are several new ones and a couple of used ones currently on E-Bay. This would currently appear to be your best bet for a used one (although I think you can do better on the price if you can be patient in your search) . . .

Be sure to clean up all the connectors and then I suggest coating the connections with silicone dielectric compound to prevent future corrosion.

You may also need to replace the security module which you'll find mounted on a bracket above and to the rear of the vacuum pump. Take that out, open it up and see what it looks like. Again be sure that a replacement has the same part number on it. Here are a few currently on E-Bay . . .

Use the down time to clean up that "well" (suggest using Foaming Bubbles with bleach) and then after it has all been cleaned and thoroughly dry, spray on a protective coating in the well. I've used Dupli-Color truck bed liner spray when I've gotten into that well area.
Also, of course, determine the source and seal the leak is that allowed water into your trunk area . . .
Good luck and please continue to let us know your progress . . .
