There are diagnostic tests that can be run to test each component in the SAS. It only takes a couple of hours to run the tests. Its not brain surgery and if he is really a Porsche mechanic, he should already know how to do these tests.

If your mechanic is unwilling or unable to do this, maybe its time to find a new mechanic.

Sorry, but this kind of stuff really peeves me. The whole point of paying someone $120+ per hour is because they are supposed to be knowledgeable and expert at repairing Porsche cars.
