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?
