# 21606981 Bracket | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Mounting/support bracket for EGR cooler 21606571 in the Volvo Penta TAD570VE-TAD572VE engine family. It holds the cooler at the factory position and prevents exhaust, coolant and EGR connections from carrying the cooler's weight.

## 🚤 Compatibility

Typically suits:

-   Volvo Penta TAD570-72VE
-   Volvo Penta TAD570-71VE-B

-   **Engine Family:** TAD

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Genuine Volvo Penta EGR-cooler bracket
-   Used with EGR cooler 21606571
-   Application-specific hole pattern and offset
-   Supports cooler mass and controls vibration
-   Maintains alignment of exhaust and coolant connections
-   Engine type: 5.1-litre inline four-cylinder turbocharged industrial diesel with EGR

## 🔌 Function

Supports and aligns the EGR cooler so its rigid and flexible connections are not overloaded by vibration or engine movement.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Cracked bracket or loose cooler
-   Repeated gasket or pipe failure from misalignment
-   Exhaust or coolant leakage at cooler connections
-   Corrosion or damaged mounting threads

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Offer the bracket up and start every fastener by hand before tightening any of them, so the component is not pulled into a strained position
-   Check the mating faces are clean, flat and free of corrosion scale — a bracket that does not sit flat will work loose and let the component move
-   Renew self-locking nuts, lock washers, tab washers or thread-locking compound wherever the original assembly used them, and tighten to the figure given in the workshop manual for your engine
-   Where the bracket carries a rubber mount or bush, renew that at the same time rather than reusing a perished one
-   On brackets in the inlet and exhaust area, never force alignment to make the holes line up — cure the misalignment at its source, or the bracket and the component it holds will both crack
