Yes that's the one I mean, when I took the old unit out the pipe came out and I fed it back in again and it sits fine, just want to make sure its not supposed to clip onto something at the bottom. Could not see anything obvious and it will drain to ground I am sure

Update: Checked the workshop manual and yes it does have a place to lock in.

Did you manage to get it back in place? If so, could you explain a bit how to do it. I replaced mine a few weeks back and just put the tube back in somewhere.

Still working on fully replacing red illumination of buttons with white ones. Today I've taken out and disassembled my 8" screen and 6.5" screen was fitted as a temporary replacement in the car.

@Bluepower nice work Niels! Did you swap to 340mm Cupra discs or 345mm R32 discs? I think I read somewhere that they were designed for 345mm, but I am not sure. Is it a straight swap meaning:

- Remove stock caliper + carrier
- Remove brake line
- Install Macan caliper
- Connect Macan brake line

[edit]
Also, how would you rate the MTS set?

Plug&play with Porsche Macan brake lines.
-Remove old caliper,bracket and brake line
-remove old brake disc
-remove protection plate behind the disc
-install new disc (I used the 340mm Cupra / Golf CS disc)
-install new Porsche caliper
-connect brake line
-bleed brakes (most likely have to do this twice, after the run-in period a second time. Reported these calipers are a little harder to bleed completely to get a firm pedal with first braking, which I can confirm (initial braking the pedal feels a little soft, but with releasing and rebraking, the pedal is nice a firm).

The MTS coilovers are pretty decent for the money. They use Eibach springs, so they are stil a bit comfortable, even when riding fully down (I have about 0.5cm of windings lef at the front)

Have you adjusted the ABS control unit?
No I have not, apparently there is a setting to firm up the brake pedal?
