follow the top radiator hose back to the engine , you will find the thermostat housing , it is under a couple of metal pipes from the intercooler , 2 12mm bolts hold it on

It must have been taken out :eh Are you sure your water pump is working, you should see water returning to the expansion bottle,aux belts are ok?

It could be a blocked radiator or blown head gasket. Try running the hosepipe through the radiator an coolant hoses to check for blockages.
