"my mechanic works on European cars...." therefore he is smart about the M96 ?

Oh , if only that was the only qualification necessary to be a competent on the M96 !

A "dry" AOS ? That would be a first.They all have some oil residue in them -except when new in the box. Or did he mean water? In which case he is confusing it with a 996.And it is a meaningless test anyway!
Gentle hint: What did the water manometer reading say?
Gentle suggestion: Go to a Porsche Indie who uses one or at least knows the hack alternative test for AOS failure.
Please understand we are trying to help you and save you money here.
