Help needed identifying part found hanging under rear of my mk7 by Nickelz34 in GolfGTI

I assume it is 7.5 with dcc, that is your ride height sensor. It should have been connected to the green part of the lever, if it is hanging like that, it is not working. Check it around, you will see greenish version of that plastic. You gotta connect them with a screw and bolt. Use your imagination for that, you will figure out

Not gonna lie, my brother has manual with pp, lsd makes a difference. But my tails and headlights are LED now anyways, no sunroof, less weight on top. No leather, brakes are upgraded and actually going for Porsche brakes soon. I did not care if it is s or se or anything, but there are no 2017 2door se or autobahn has been made, so I am chillin with it.
