Description
Chrysler 300 (2005, North America) uses gasoline engines (2.7L V6, 3.5L V6, 5.7L HEMI V8) and does not require glow plugs, as these are exclusive to diesel engines for cold-start assistance. However, for clarity, this response addresses the European-market 2005 Chrysler 300C 3.0L CRD diesel, which was not sold in North America but shares the platform and uses glow plugs. The OEM glow plug (part number 68001486AA, Bosch 0250203002) fits the 3.0L CRD V6 diesel, heating to 900°C in 4-6 seconds for reliable starts in Kenya’s chilly mornings. These self-regulating plugs last 80,000-100,000 km, reducing white smoke and hard starts. Replace all six plugs to ensure even combustion. TUV-certified, they integrate with the glow control module for seamless operation.
Key Features
- Self-regulating ceramic element heats to 1000°C max, preventing burnout.

- 11V/70W rating minimizes battery drain during glow cycle.
- Stainless steel body resists corrosion in humid Kenyan conditions.
- Quick-glow system activates in 4-6 seconds at 0°C for fast starts.
- Compatible with Chrysler 300C CRD’s glow relay for dash light control.
