In December of '07 I picked up, from NAPA, an under sump engine heater
for a Vanagon wasserboxer.

The part number is 605-1500. The price then, though, was $77.99 USD.
They had to order it and got it through Balkamp.

They are made by Pyroil Canada, Ltd., and come with a one year guarantee.

It does a good job of heating the engine oil in northern Maine.
