90q 20v queries

[Joel Landsverk <jolandru@yahoo.com>]

Help...I am having the timing belt replaced on my  91 90q 20v.  The
mechanic also wants to replace v-belts, and water pump.  Is this
normal?  

Also...my car uses about a quart of oil over 3k miles.  Is this
normal?  I have 160k miles on it.  He said it was probably the valve
guide seals.  
I also have some difficulty getting the car into 1st from a dead stop.
 That is when the car has been in neutral with the clutch out.
What are your thoughts?  TIA

Joel.
