You are right, it's an vacuum problem with the gas filler door actuator. You'l find it when you remove the linig in the trunk (or better boot??). Maybe it's only a hose which slippped off or the actuator itself is gone. Under the rear seat (driver side UK) you'll also find the central locking unit.Maybe there is the something wrong.
