No, that isn't because of Biodiesel, and I guarantee you that isn't Lightman's intake. His is clean as a whistle. Actually, the bio will create much less sludge than what you see there because it produces extremely little soot. There are rumors that bio can even help clean an already sooted intake.

Anyway, I cleaned mine in the Jetta a few months ago at 70K miles and it was not quite as bad as that picture. And, as stated above, I never saw the E300's intake. I just started using the biodiesel a couple weeks ago, so all my "intake experience" is petroleum diesel based.
