Mine is definitely an air-blowing heater and the installation looks to be factory ... or a very well done dealer installation. The heater unit is aft of the fuel tank, but not on the centreline of the vehicle; it is offset to the driver's side. There is an exhaust which comes out from under the shield to the side of the van.

I guess I will have to drop the shield when the Hyena comes out of storage this spring and see what lives inside. I am familiar with the DA6, but have always encountered it mounted under the rear bench on the passengers side with ductwork up under the bench. I also have an older {non functional} Eberspacher on my '66 which is mounted under the rear bench.

The ductwork coming from this heater has outlets under the drivers seat and behind the front seats and walkthrough (aimed back at the cabin). The timer is mechanical - the little green knob you push/pull and turn - as we had in an older bread loaf (which was an Eberspacher). The vehicle owners manual describes how to use the timer, but makes no mention of what type of heater is on the other end.

regarding Eberspachers... the "B" in the BA6 means gasoline (Benzine is the german word for Gasoline) the "D" in DA6 means Diesel. the BA6's were mounted under the center of the vehicle after the gas tank and had a big sheetmetal cover concealing them. the DA6's look just like the BA6 and were mounted in the same place that the BA6 was. if you saw a heater mounted under the rear bench - it was most certainly not a DA6.your thinking of another Eberspacher model. maybe BN4 or something.
