Put a vac meter on it, see what it says. I think a good pull is like 13-17" if I recall from when I did mine. If it is down to a few inches, then that is too low.

Hey folks,

How do I know if the vacuum pump on my '85 190D is going out? Its slow to 
develop vacuum at low speed, when I back out of my driveway in the morning I've 
got no power brakes. By the end of my street like 50 yards away everything is 
fine.
I replaced a short bit of line from the pump up to IIRC a tee not long ago 
which made the car shut off better but this is a new behavior.

It looks like the vacuum pump is easy to replace, maybe have to pull the belt 
but no other major parts. Anybody BTDT?
