I'd suggest starting with a shorter CCV inspection interval initially. Check it now, check it again in a couple of weeks. If it's clean after a couple weeks, leave it until the start of the next winter.
If you have the tools and the know-how, you can do it yourself in under 10 minutes. The hardest part is removing the two furthest Torx screws on the engine cover!
