Do all diesel cars require AdBlue topping up?
Regarding your comment in the Audi A4 review that "all diesel A4s have a 12-litre AdBlue tank that will require topping up between services; the car warns you 1,600km before it runs dry". I presume a similar feature will apply to other marques. How much roughly do you think it will cost to get it topped up, and what would happen if it's not topped up? Will the engine refuse to run or will it damage the engine (as well as the environment)?
Thanks

Is this price right for a timing belt replacement?
My 2010 Peugeot 5008 has 108,000km on the clock and I have been advised by the dealer that the timing belt and water pump need to be replaced. This will cost €800-900 on top of the service. This seems to be a lot of money. Would this be correct?

Should the garage change my Ford Focus timing belt?
Hi, I very recently bought a 2008 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi with 94k miles on the clock. I asked the garage where i purchased it from about the timing belt and for them to replace it. They said I had "30k or 40k miles left" before it needs doing and wouldn't entertain my request to get it changed. Can you give me some information about when it needs doing or about what mileage I should get it checked out at?
Thanks in advance.
