Default Re: Vacuum Pump / Central Locking (Part ref: 1708000848)

Hi,
Does anyone know if the yellow vacuum tubes need to be connected in a specific order for the Roadster? I recently replaced my vacuum pump in the trunk due to water damage and the hydraulic roof now operates as it should, however the fuel cap door and trunk aren't now locking. I had already removed the unit before receiving the replacement part . Although not a major issue, the door locks also don't appear to be locking using air assistance, however it's a bit hard to tell as I lock the driver's door manually with the key (remote keyfob has not operated for some time - however this is a problem specifically with the keyfob).

If the air lines can be connected to the pump iin any order, then I'm OK with that as the filler cap door and trunk not currently locking is not a deal-breaker for me. I particularly wanted the replacement vacuum unit so I could operate the electric roof using the dashboard switch, which is now working great, however if I can solve the boot/filler cap issues by simply swapping the order of a couple of the yellow vacuum lines then that'll be a bonus..I'm just a bit wary to swap the order of the vacuum lines, as I may have just hit lucky with the roof vacuum line and don't wish to mix up all three lines and end up with nothing working.

Any help or knowledge regarding the yellow vacuum tubes/hoses would be greatly appreciated.
