Default Overheat/doesn't start please help

Im new to the audi scene and I picked up a audi a4 b5 wagon. Everything worked fine till a day ago. I noticed the coolant light started blinking so I added coolant thinking nothing. When I got home I noticed I lost more. I looked under the intake and there was a hole in one of the hoses. Like an idiot I thought as long as I keep adding coolant and watch the temp gauge and dont exceed to much it would be fine. As I was driving the temp was half way then it just shut off. smoke was coming from under the hood. I popped it and my reservoir was boiling. I let it cool down for about 2 hours added coolant again and tried to start it but it doesn't start just cranks. Any help will be great. Thanks
