[QUOTE="918evo, post: 3201461, member: 6001"] I would focus more on the strainer on the front of the engine- it is usually the one that has the most sediment in it. It has been a few months since I have done one, so I may not recall this correctly, but a long 14mm wrench with another wrench as leverage takes the tension off of the belt. A couple of 12mm bolts hold on the PS pump. Unbolt that and set it all to the side(don't undo any hoses). Three 12mm bolts hold on the tensioner. You might need a shallow socket and a deep socket 12mm. You don't need to lay on the gravel unless you change the oil(I do this last), but I understand the dread- I have spent years working and crawling around on gravel. I use the carpeted thick cardboard trunk pieces to lay on. I have had a to repeat the cleaning a couple of times before, but going based on your maintenance and mileage I think one time will be enough. Also, if you decide not to clean the main strainer, there is a chance that the light will come back on in the near future and throw the car into limp mode which makes it very difficult and slightly dangerous to climb hills with the RPM based fuel cut.
