What would happen if the vacuum hose on the trunk lid were to break while the car was locked? Would
it keep the lid in an alway locked position? Does the key override (mechanical) the vacuum hose for the central locking?
Just curious because this past weekend I went for a test drive after changing the final drive seal. I pulled into a lot and locked the car and within 20 seconds I heard a hissing. I immediately thought the seal or something let loose releasing pressure but I didn't see anything wet on the underside. Next day I heard it again but from the trunk. It was the vacuum hose broken at the joint.
