vacuum pump/seats question

My air seats in my car occasionaly dont work. Adjusting the air doesnt do anything but then all of a sudden it works. Also today I noticed the vacuum pump is continuously making sounds while driving. Its the kind of sound that you hear when you unlock your car using the unlock button inside the car. That quiet whine sound from the rear passanger side.The sound is repeating every few seconds and the only way to turn it off is to hit the unlock button inside the car while driving.

If you have any ideas what might be happening please do share

ZV pumpe in kofferraum vielleicht kaputt?
or maybe your vaccum hoses burst into leaking air?

pop your trunk, all 4 doors, go around your car and listen to air leaks when you lock your car with remote.
if your problem is with seats you might have to remove them as vaccum lines goes under carpets
