When I did my 1993 90 @ 63k, about a year ago, I bought everything from
Carlsen Audi. Ask for Linda and mention the q-list; she gives a discount.

I got the belt, water pump and both tension rollers for about $280. You
might also want to consider replacing the serpentine accessory drive belt,
too, if that's still original. Oh, and the thermostat, too, since that's
behind the water pump; you don't want to pay that labor bill just to
replace a stuck t-stat!
