You should also get a code reader that supports the Porsche-specific codes. Most swear to the Porsche Durametric Enthusiast.

Until you know what's causing the CEL you are groping in the dark.

Fuel gauge calibration requires the Factory Diagnostic tool & a certain fuel level. Seek out a independent that has this as they should be cheaper than a Porsche Dealer.
Quetions like this should be posted in the technical colum for best responce. Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the reply Anker!
I thought there might be a quick and inexpensive way to fix this.
The Durametric enthusiast code reader is almost $300.
I might consider buying if I knew I had much more use for it down the road.
Any thoughts...
