The fault code 2A6B00 indicates an issue with the smooth running control of cylinder 6, which could be related to the fuel injector, or glow plug. Start by checking the fuel injector for cylinder 6 to ensure it's not clogged or malfunctioning. You can also inspect the glow plug for any signs of wear or damage. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, it's best to have a professional mechanic take a look, as this could affect engine performance and safety. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
