2013 Hyundai i30 CDRI smoke

After I start my 2013 Hyundai i30 CDRI huge amounts of smoke pour out the exhaust and it sounds like it is going to conk out. There is also an extremely loud noise in the motor all the time. It has been back to the dealer four times now, but the tests have been inconclusive. I have been told that the injectors might need to be replaced, they may need to replace the motor, or that it could be a programming issue, but nothing for certain. It has only done 3500km, so I find this very disappointing. I hope that you could possibly help.

I don't doubt that you feel frustrated; I would too. The diagnoses you have been given are all plausible, but they clearly need more investigation to establish the real cause. Go back to your dealer and ask them to tell you what they plan to do to fix your car. We will contact Hyundai in the meantime and ask for head office help for you.
