D4 2.0 possible cracked block

recently had my car in for the EGR cooler cleaning out as was recommended by my local garage, on picking the car up I noticed there was a gurgling noise (coolant) I could hear when I stopped a lights or a junction. I presumed this was air and would force its way out through the expansion tank. days later I pulled out of the drive and the car lost power and had white smoke from the exhaust. the guy from the garage came out and has said I now need another engine as he thinks the block is cracked, obviously not admitting to anything he's done but to me its too much of a coincidence as never having any issues before the garage visit. could it just be the cooler failing? or is it more likely to be head gasket or cracked block? or have I just been unlucky as the car has covered 150k miles. I believe it has something to do with something the garage has done but obviously cant prove anything.
also would you have to take the inlet manifold off to clean the cooler, as I noticed he`d taken it off when I called in to see if the car was ready.
