So, what  did I do wrong, how could I have drained the block  better?



You really can't.  There's coolant held up behind the stat,  except yours 
was leaking...
  Sorry, no direct help on your A4.
  On the IDI's anyway, the best drainage comes from pulling the  straight 
hose, from the water pump to the heater pipe.  If you have the oil  cooler 
then it Tees into that rather than being a straight pipe.
