there is no timing belt in the 2000 kia sephia. it's got a DIS, it doesn't need one.

There is a timing belt for the 2000 sephia. It is recommended to be changed every 60k miles. You do not have to replace the water pump unless you are feeling ambitious and or it is leaking. DIS is distributorless ignition system.
