I ran my 996 TT to the lowest fuel level yet < 30miles range.
Leading evidence: 'Run 996 tt' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Fill full tank, you may just need' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

If you filled a full tank, you may just need to start the car again to let it register the correct amount.

Suggestion
It's a Turbo, so 4wd, so the answer is 99% going to be (as previously linked by pzero) to fill the tank up.

I don't have my owners manual to hand right now, but I'm pretty sure it mentions this is expected behaviour if you let it run very low before refuelling.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I ran my 996 TT to the lowest fuel level yet < 30miles range.
Afterwards, what was a perfectly working fuel gauge has stopped working. Neither the digital or analogue readings are showing the correct fuel level.
Any ideas on a simple way to rectify this?

If you filled a full tank, you may just need to start the car again to let it register the correct amount. If you didn't get a tank full, then as other suggested, you may need to top up a bit more & then restart a second time, at which point it should register the correct amount. If not you may have another issue.
He did say "afterwards" which definitely implies that he did something after running it down to <30 miles range.

Ahem... as many of you seem to suspect, I was a tightwad and put in exactly £30 worth of fuel.
I did wonder if filling it to the brim would rectify. Thanks all for the responses. Will give it a go and revert if no change.
On the off chance that doesnt fix it then re post please .. but i think it will .
reason .. i had a customer who said he always put £25 of fuel in and the gauge worked and now it doesnt .. i ripped the system appart , replaced and rewired .. turned out the cost of fuel had gone up and it wasnt enough going into the tank to get past the calculated amount .
