Thanks a lot! Right now my car is at the shop and mechanics will be testing all codes on Monday. I will keep you informed about all trouble codes they finds out, if you do not mind, on Friday they did not get any success.

No error messages, no any other warnings. A few days ago it has started, but later on it was OK, but then this problem started again. ...
