would my car still crank and run with a blown engine on a Audi A4 Quattro 1.8L?
What is your question?
Car ran hot once and I had it towed to shop I was informed it was a coolant outlet flange busted. But they could not tell me if engine is blown until this piece is repaired 1st.
Leaking plastic flange at the back of the cylinder head is a common problem. If you drove the car until it stopped you may have engine damage. The engine should start and run without coolant to test for rough running and misfires. If it runs smoothly then the coolant leakage must be repaired in order to pressure test the system to determine if there is damage to the cylinder head or head gasket.
