Hard to tell from your description
But if coolant is spilled everywhere, the boom may have been the coolant expansion tank bursting. They are known to crack and sometimes they break apart pretty bad. What does it look like under the hood? Any hoses bust off of the coolant tank? If you can see the coolant up on the top surfaces of the engine it is likely the coolant tank or hose that burst, that's my guess.

Audi dealer mechanic said Thernostat, he is going to fix it on Monday.
Also, I just found out there was smoke too. I don't know much what happem, just coolant on the driveway and supposetly there was smoke (first I said there was none, but now I find out there was).
I'm not a mechanic, not even close. Sorry for my bad descriptions. All I care about is that the car will be fixed.

Fixed!!! Back on the road.
It wasn't really thermostat, just something small. But it's got new one in, new t-belt with all the goodies. Tomorrow Bart is fixing the small electrical issues (window motor, vacuum line, etc). It will be in good shape. All I got to do is the oil change.
