Problem solved. Turbo is mounted to the exhaust manifold with three bolt's. One bolt was totally loose and second was opened about one centimeter. Turbo was hanging with only one bolt. I did allmost use my local stealer service. Those ass***es would propably change whole turbo. I really dosn't...

I'm used Castrol TAF-X, Mobil VS200 and G 052 171 A2 in my -05 FR Leon. That G 052 171 A2 is the best choice from those oils. 1 to 2 change is smoother with this VW-oil. Especially in cold mornings.
