I recently replaced it a second time. I seem to only get 3 year life out of these. New top tip: you don’t need to click the flush flash at the way. I once again had a hard time removing it and reference my own video. What I did this time twist it back in lose. I don’t let it click and lock that way next time it’s super easy to remove
I had a gasket that looked _exactly_ like the one in the video. I carefully lanced the bubble. Water came out just as in the video. Then I put the gasket back, *and I one again have a perfect seal!* FYI: a chorine or bleach-based cleaning tablet is a likely cause of this problem. And in my experience, this gasket size is weirdly difficult to find. Be sure to search more for "Duravit" rather than "Geberit".
This is the perfect video for my problem!! Thank you!! Same gasket and same problem after only 2 years. Many blisters. Did the part you ordered solve the problem?
By the way…are you sure your fill valve is the one that’s faulty? That was my first guess on my toilet but after digging around the internet I tried the fix in this video. The symptom I had was that it seemed like the fill valve was continuously dripping. I thought to question the flush valve after I pinched off the fill valve and noticed after a couple hours that the water that was in the bowl had drained out
I really hate Geberit Typ 203. Designed to make plumbers richer. At 5:36 min. you presented the lower receiver. There is a gap at the border of the main whole where it looks to fit a gasket ring. Could you share if your valve had a gasket ring there or it was just an empty gap?
@@hugodls hmmm this is really tough without being able to comment pictures or drawings…can you please try to describe reference this picture? i.ebayimg.com/images/g/MhAAAOSw76xmNKIG/s-l1600.jpg Starting at very bottom is a white piece, followed by the black gasket, above that the smaller rectangular cutouts, then really really big opening. I think the “gap” you are referring to is what I call the “really really big opening”. There is no additional gasket there. Once you pull the top piece that I removed in the video, the remaining “lower receiver” that stays in the bowl is all plastic. Other than the black gasket, the only other gasket is the one I replaced in this video. Hope that helps
@@ron_wasnt_available Hi There, I highlighted in RED the circular gap surrounding the main whole (please find the image link bellow). I believe there is no O-Ring there, I just ask because it seems to have been designed to have an O-ring and make a better seal. In any case, my flush valve gasket will arrive on Monday. Thank you a lot for your video, it took me 4 months to figure out how to stop this leak and I even changed the part on the left side of the toilet cistern, which obviously did not solve the problem. i.ibb.co/X8RgStD/Gap.jpg .
Thanks so much for making this video. Exactly what I needed to repair a leaky toilet… just 2 years old. Fingers crossed it was the seal!

I found them in some retailers online. I bought 5 to make the shipping worth it. I figure I got 15 years worth of seals now
Can you share a link? I found them really hard to track down online.

Yes
Your video helped me, I was able to fix myself! Now, the inlet valve is leaking creating overflow and unnecessary flushes. Any suggestion?
Sorry not really sure :/
Thank you! Good to know for the future. Do you know if the fill valve has a gasket that can be replaced? And how it is done?
Not sure. This is the only portion that I’ve taken apart

Inquiring minds want to know…..after 3 more years have you had to change the seal again?
@@EddaElid yeah I did. I just bought a lot of spares and accepted it’s just something I need to do every 3 years
