Do you guys thing one of these pumps would help a low idle vacuum problem?

Thanks, Jeff

Those pumps are designed to only work for a max of about 90 seconds at a time & then shut down to keep the motor from overheating.

If you are trying to help your power brake booster, I would not bother with the mercedes pump.
I've been a mercedes tech since 1981 and have seen my share of those pumps fail.
