My Cayenne is REALLY beginning to piss me off
2005 Cayenne V-6, 24k miles, I have owned her since new.
3 weeks ago I replaced a faulty fuel pump. Today was my first refueling since the fuel pump replacement. I put in 20.2 gallons and the fuel gauge read 3/4 tank. I drove it 6 miles then added another 1.7 gallons (to the point fuel was overflowing). The fuel gauge still read 3/4. Is it likely the dealer somehow screwed with the sender? Any way to recalibrate the sender? Any thoughts?

I can understand your frustration but from your writings it seems that a lot of the issue is with the folks working on your vehicle. They're charging you a pile of money to do sub-par work. Good luck with getting it sorted out. Owning a great vehicle should be more satisfying.

OK problem resolved.
Apparently when the fuel pump was replaced a wire was not secured and it physically interfered with the float in the tank. Cost to me $39 for half a tank of gas they needed to add. The car and I have made up
