It's the igniter for the coil pack - only found on 1.6 cars.

Leave it be otherwise you'll be rather short on sparks

Its the ignitor. If you unbolt it from that bracket you can tuck it nicely begind the fuse box out of sight. Thats what I did. It also make for a good anti theft device, I remove it whenever im someone where unfamiliar for long periods.

3 bar it is essential to the working of the stock coils. unless you have another provision for coils then leave it where it is.
