Water pump is leaking 2015 Ace 27.1

Does anyone know where to buy a new one, or better yet, a higher quality replacement? It's leaking, even when turned off. I am so tired of dealing with the dealership so I'd rather just try to fix it myself. Thanks for your help.

I just found that mine is leaking too. I am going to call my dealership tomorrow to see what they say. Did you get any damage from it?

Your dealership will tell you to bring it in. Then they will wait nearly a month to look at it. Then they will tell you it's broke and of course they don't have any in stock so you have to bring your unit back in a couple of weeks. At least that's my experience.

I went ahead and ordered a replacement pump on Amazon and will have it tomorrow. My time is worth more than the cost of the pump and the time to replace it.

I don't think there is damage. At least that I can see since it is located in the holding tank next to the black and gray tanks.

I found that my in-line filter developed a crack after freezing and began leaking. Are you sure it's not coming from there?

Call Thor and see if they will send you the pump to replace yourself. That way you can stay away from the dealer and their schedule.

Thor has sent me a few parts to replace myself and on a couple of occasions sent a return shipping label to send the old part back to them.

This works out for both. Thor saves the labor cost and I save the time and fuel going to the dealer. My dealer is almost 100 miles away.
