This goes in the for what it's worth dept. I have one of those bolt onto the bottom type block heaters that VW has. It has bee the best engine heater I've owned. It took 15 minutes to install (it took more time trying to determine where to route the wire than it did installing it) and has worked extremely well, to include 4 years in Wyoming where it gets into the sub-zeroteen range and blows 40kts of wind for a week or so. and my gut feeling about adding something more to the cooling system just doesn't feel right based on things that leak.
