My exhaust is too noisy for me to hear a slight hiss (I suspect) so I was saying to try with the key on and engine off. Your clarification of course is most necessary. Sometimes, one confuses when posting because we are too close to it. About the hoses, am I reading the three lines are 1(red) to the gas fill door, #2 to the hatch and passenger door, and #3 goes drivers door and console (in roadsters)? If so, I would suspect the leak is in line 2 (as you say possibly a hatch/frame pivot point fracture? It may be just large enough of a leak to allow intermittent activation of the door module based on how much leakage is occurring at the precise instance each failure happens (hatch/hatch-door). No matter what location it is at, the troubleshooting SEEMS to be line 2 of the pump module, would you agree? If it is at the hatch/frame pivot point, there have been some repairs (if I remember correctly) posted in the forum using a male/male barbed aluminum or brass tubing connector sized to the tubing.


PS: Is that 'block diagram' of a RHD system, as it seems to 'reverse' the door connected to the hatch? I didn't see the block diagram until after I replied (used the picture then the text).

It is a North American book, so I assume it is an error copied from somewhere. The Manuals are full of errors, I guess they were translated from German.
I think one fix was to use a slightly larger hose and jam the broken ends in it. I think it is poor quality line, someone on here who was in the pneumatic industry said that type of material had not been used for hoses for ages. Cheep cheep is the buzz word in the auto industry.
