Dash out - now testing switch over valves

For two years my 190d has been blowing hot air only, and the flaps do not work. I tried a new CCU, but it did not solve my problem. Today I removed the dash to try and find a vacuum leak. I tested vacuum going into the switch over valves unit. The green/brown line comming from the vacuum pump I tested the unit for vacuum and it holds. The red line from the heat control valve it holds vacuum. When I tested the five white plastic hook ups none of them held vacuum. When I took off the lines from the unit and tested them they all held vacuum. Since all the lines after detached from the unit hold vacuum it looks like I don't have a problem there. Also, I noticed that when vacuuum was applied the flaps did move. I'm wondering if the white plastic lines comming out of the unit should hold vacuum. Thanks for your help.
