Part No 5Q2 721 is called a securing ring. Mine fell out too and, after speaking to my local VW dealer fixed it myself.
If you open the drop down door under the light switch, squeeze the door together to remove it you can get to where it fell out from at the top of the brake pedal bracket. It simply pushes back in. I cannot see that it actually performs any useful function.
9/10 women I know would suggest that part be renamed "husband"!!
