Tim, my 300CD is nearing 10kmi on BioD. I've not seen a clogged filter yet (subject line action). My only problem has been injector return lines getting soft enough that one came loose causing a "snail trail" at work. Previous to BioD, my fuel guage liked to imitate windshield wipers....now it's rock solid and accurate.
