Are you sure it's the VDI? Here's a test:
- Turn your key to the Start position w/o turning on your engine. Wait for 5 or 10 seconds.
- Turn your key to the off position and listen if you hear that click. There's two clicks that you should hear: first one is the VDI turning open and close, and then the Secondary port actuators turning open and close.
If the first click you hear is exactly the click you have been complaining about, then it is confirmed that it's coming from the VDI.
How do you fix it? I dont know, go to the dealership service and tell them about it. They should have some test procedure to diagnose it. It's going to be under warranty.
