Everyone I've ever used suggests thermostat and water pump "whilst we're in there" as it's a heck of a job to do at another date. The same goes for all the other parts - you're going to be paying a lot for labour so you might as well get the job done thoroughly whilst you're at it.
Audi will also tell you that the gearbox is sealed for life and doesn't need an oil and filter change! And that fairies live at the bottom of the garden! 
I think my auxiliary belt was done at the service before the cam belt job. (what we used to call the fan belt I think).
