Unfortunately, the owners of many of these vehicles are totally unaware that their timing belt needs to be periodically replaced for preventive maintenance. The belt is out-of-sight and out-of-mind and, unless they read their owner's manual (which few ever do) and see the replacement recommendation in black-and-white, they usually ignore the belt until it's too late.

Google this."Kia 2.0 DOHC interference engine?"

Grant, you need to check if the pump is ok with your model engine, not just the car model number, these cars were fitted with at least four
different engine variants that i am aware of.
i don't think you should attempt to fit it if you don't know at least that much, sometimes the cambelt has to be removed first, thats a whole
different kind of level of experise required.
good luck

Maybe a fuel pump on its way out

Try this, about midway down the page ->http://www.2carpros.com/diagrams/audi/100/1994

Possible timing belt, remove distributor cap and crank engine, if distributor rotor don't turn bad timing belt.

I hope this is the one.

The thermostat is mounted to the engineblock on the front of the engine, under a “cover” just to theright of the crank. The thermostat cover is connected to the lowerradiator hose. The manual says to remove the timing belt. I am notsure if this is required but if true, it is a major job.

It is behind the timing belt area on the right front corner of the motor..You will need to remove the timing belt to get it out (well sometimes you can flex it enough to get the t-stat out) and so you may as well replace the belt while you are in there..

just fixed my Audi TT ... timing belt snapped so the head had to come off to replace valves. used dial guage on top of piston !
if head is on then there is a plug you can remove that allows you to see top dead center..

If it's the same as the 99 2.8 V6 in the A4, it's quite a ways inside the front of the engine. You have to remove a lot of the front of the engine and you'll find it partially hidden behind the timing belt tensioner. Foolish place to put such a part unfortunately, but at least on my A4 that's where it is.
