Vac locks: master valve repair

Is there any way to repair the master valve if it is leaking? I can hear it buzzing like a kazoo after I shut down. Enough to lock it immediately after shutdown but when I return to unlock the car the actuators fail to move.

Or, if not, how available are the valves and at what cost

They are available. I don't think you can rebuild them. Click on Buy Parts above.

Are you sure the valve itself is leaking and not the lines/connectors?

My door locks quit working the last time I locked my 300TD. I'm guessing that's going to be a vacuum issue. Is that the first thing one would look for?
