Just coming in out of the snow and notived a 10cm long resistor hanging down from the F/O/S bumber of my MkIII Golf 1995. Clearly a bracket has corroded or something but what is the resistor for. Regards Peter.

The only thing I can think of is the outside temperature sensor. Its located behind the small black plastic grill on the bottom half of the bumper.

It is to dim the headlights whilst driving when you only have the side lights turned on. My resistor broke into two parts, and I replaced it from one off a mk 2 with slightly different resistance, mk 2, about 0.6 ohms, mk 3, about 0.8 ohms, if my memory is still active. I drove the car for up to two years without one with no problems.
