Max; I recognize those symptoms very vividly from my 95 E300D. The vacuum pump has failed. Try not to run the engine until you replace the pump. The pump has a lot of little ball bearings that often drop into the timing case and/or crank case when the pump fails.
You'll love this car when you get it fixed up.
