What would be your expertise to fix it once you had the diagnosis? If probably none, then let the dealer do the diagnosis since that is bundled into his flat rate for the part replacement.
If you have some desire (and sometimes that is all it takes) or some experience and tools, then is there a buddy that would have a code reader for you to get a rudimentary code readout and then see what it might point to before you tried a fix? Or an autoshop that would loan you one? Takes 5 minutes max to read the codes.
As for buying a code reader, an Actron is basic and works on lots of cars, a Durametric much more capable and Porsche specific and for long term P-car ownership the thing to have (installs on a laptop). Dealers buy or rent even more powerful diagnostic computers from Porsche.
