That will be your low brake fluid reservoir sensor,there should be a little plastic cap that sits on top to hold the stick down,they often come off,you can upgrade the cap for a polo yellow one as it has the same connector.

No mate  if your fluid is low it will bring a light on the dash,you can use it as is,or just get a new cap ,up to you fella  :wink:
