See the thread 'i30 diesel starting issue' which I started on 12 Nov. 2020. I was able to fix it myself by installing four new glow plugs at a much smaller cost than a Hyundai dealer quoted.
Glow plugs for his 2.4 2011 Transit
Genuine ford XS7U6M090BB - $57.64each
Aftermarket FGP-202 - $60each

I'd be going genuine with this one.
