Porsche specialist for me next time, it's not worth the worry trying to save a few pounds!
Glad it worked out for you. In all honesty, your mechanic should have had a tool like this: http://www.denlorstools.com/home/dt1/page_6135_13/uview_uv_550000_airlift_cooling_system_leak_checke .html

....to quickly purge out all air in the coolant system to avoid having to manually purge the air as what was shown in the instructions I pointed you to. Their shop must not do much coolant system work. With them not properly bleeding your system of air pockets, you could have had worse problems. Glad everything is A-ok.
