What's up, Logan?
Are you talking electrical connection, or hydraulic connection?
Didn't you say something about this when we met up for the tranny deal? Can't remember...

Need? I didnt hook mine back up after the master cylinder swap last weekend. No ill effects. I believe it turns on an idiot light when the fluid goes below that hole. I check it often enough that its not a big issue. I guess I'll hook it back up tomorrow though.
And my S5 DOES have one. Though my S5 mastercylinder (that I bought by asking for an S5 mastercylnder) is completely different from what the Haynes book says all S5's have.
FSM is right on the money though.

Yeh, that's your low-level switch assy...
Like Kenteth said, check that sucker visually every time you pop the hood, so you won't go slamming into the back of someone...

BTW, I found out last week how much teflon taping the bleeders helped on the calipers. I was constantly bleeding air back into the system trough the threads. I teflonned them and bleeding the entire system. Bleeding used to take an hour, with the teflon tape on the threads, I was able to rebleed the entire system in about 15 minutes (minus preptime--tire removal/install) after I swapped in the new master cylinder.
