My i30 crdi smoked on startup and under full throttle. I could actually make massive plumes of smoke when getting tailgated which I enjoyed thoroughly
.I ran a bottle of Nulon diesel injector cleaner ($14 from Supercheap)in a few tanks of fuel and this partly fixed the problem. Could also be the glow plugs . Only 2 of mine were working after 100000km. I purchased a full set of NTK ones from Korea for $70 about a quarter the price they are in Australia.
The glow plug relay can also get a build up internally from the contacts arcing , there was a forum post someone did about this and I followed their instructions and took apart the relay and sanded the build up off. This could make the the car smoke on startup and the first ten mins of operation .
