As far as I can remember the w220 has only one vacuum line per door? Correct me if I am wrong. Unlike w140 which runs a separate pump for closing assist. So if that one pipe has a leak it will affect both central locking and closing assist. And yes pse will not only shut down one door it will shut down the complete function of central locking. I am afraid your only bet is Das to clear those codes. If I was working on that car my first step would be to clear the faults. The pump will run again and see what faults return.
yes , correct one hose per door...I am looking for a Das to get...since I do have spare car ....taking my time.., looking online to get a star system but so many versions with difference prices..recommend any particular Das? seller?

Going back to your original post when you say that you got the actuator in is everything seated properly? A hissing sound generally means that a vacuum is escaping somewhere in the lines. The PSE pump is designed to shutdown (rather than burn out) after a certain amount of time. Which door is the hissing sound coming from? If it is coming from the driver's door then there is a bad vacuum coming from that door. Post the fault codes you are getting and we can take it from there.

The white part is generally what breaks. There is so much pressure on that thing from the closing that it eventually just breaks over time. Don't know why MB didn't use a more durable material.
They do have the repair kits to replace the white part but from my own personal experience they don't work that well. I tried one but it only lasted a couple of months and I had to replace the actuator.

Read through the following thread from benzworld.org and also read through the attached PDF that Brian Rice (RICEBUBBLES wrote up on the PSE pump.

ok..so i finally got around to the car and talked to a shop to clear the codes for me...I closed the hood and somehow closed the trunk using blade key...
started the car and as I was driving all of the sudden the doors locked them selfs....so i pulled over and checked the soft close and they are also working....I have not checked to see if the codes still exist...I guess its fixed for now....Thanks for all your replies!!
