Leaky door lock actuator - which one?

[Mike Arman]

Seems I have a leaky door lock vacuum capsule (again) . . . one nice thing
about a type 44, when you own one for a few years, you learn all kinds of
things about ALL KINDS of weird and wonderful automotive "systems", some of
which seem to have been "designed" by our friends Hans und Fritz after a
*very* hard night in the beer hall . . .


Anyway, when I unlock the car (key), the vacuum pump under the rear seat
runs for a while longer than it is supposed to. I had one leaky door lock
capsule a few months ago, and found it by sheer luck - it was the first
door I checked.

What's the procedure to isolate which one leaks so I don't have to pull off
ALL FOUR of the door panels looking for it?

Although I suppose it is time for the annual take them all apart anyway
festival and lube the latch mechanisms, fragile plastic ball sockets,
window motor actuators, biodegradable door handles, und so weiter (und
weiter und weiter und weiter).


Best Regards,
