I have one on my 1.9 wbx. It's an under pan heating element like a long "U" shape. Heats the oil and block. I'm sure it would work as well on an air cooled engine. Works well but to be honest, I park the vanagon for the winter. Plenty warm enough with the two heaters but i find it has little traction.

dance in the rain...
