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
