IN most cases (99% of the time) they are related! A leak in the A/C system causes the central locking pump to run for a few seconds to help with (MVA).

With the a/c control on AUTO set around 70-72..try pressing the EC button..if that slows the cycling of the vacuum pump then the fresh air vacuum element is the most likely problem..
