It would be easier to give an answer if you told us which motor you have.
On V6 engines you must remove the camshaft drive belt to acces the cooling
water thermostat.
By change of belt it is normal procedure to change waterpump, thermostat and
some thightening rolls.

The running fans indicates that the problem is the thermoswitch, it is
located at the bottom of the cooler, it has 3 wires connected, the fans
should start at different temperatures, the first at some 94 C and the
second around 100 C.
The fans are connected to fuse 13.

You don't have to remove the cam drive belt, just slide it about
half way off of the sprocket. Then twist the belt portion directly
in front of the thermostat housing.

If you don't even know where the thermostat is though, you need the
manual (Bentley), the serpentine belt and several plastic bits need
to be removed. Also buy the replacement at the dealer. If you get
one at a cheapo parts house examine it closely, the upper portion
may need to be ground off to fit in the Audi housing. The dealer
part lasts longer too.
