Good afternoon, friends from Bunnings Warehouse!
My toilet has a leak from the cistern to the toilet, which I believe can be solved by replacing the seating washer.
However, I do not know exactly what brand and model to buy. The brand of my flush valve seems to be WDI, however, I could not find any seating washer of this brand on the Bunnings website.
Picture #1 shows my flush valve.
Picture #2 shows the back of the discharge buttons, where it is written "WDI K4020".
Picture #3 shows, in close, the seating washer where it shows a code: "R07".
An important piece of information, which I find important to register, is the measures of seating washer:
- External diameter: ≈6.5mm
- Internal diameter: ≈3.5mm
- Thickness: ≈0.3mm
As I mentioned earlier, I found several brands/models on the Bunnings website, but I'm not sure which one(s) could replace the one I have.
Perhaps, some of you could tell me which seating washer could properly fit my flush valve model (even if it's a generic brand).
Thank you all,
Mateus.
Hello @Mateus
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. Thank you for joining us and sharing your question about your seating washer.
The closest equivalent washer that the store has is the Kinetic 65mm Geberit Washer. It is a specially sized washer and only fits the Geberit and European-styled flushing systems. You can also special order the Fix-A-Loo version which is compatible with the Geberit brand. Please speak to your local store's special orders desk if you wish to order this product. I've placed a photo below for your reference.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hello @Mateus
Your flushing unit is a WDIK4020 FULU single box flush. I'm currently not aware of any provider that carries spare parts for this kind of flushing system. Can you please tell me what is the make and model of your toilet suite? Perhaps with more information, we can track down a provider that has spare parts or perhaps a compatible system.
However, if it proves to be too difficult you will have to consider changing your toilet suite to something more modern or perhaps upgrade your cistern to something that has modern flushing systems in them.
If you need more advice or information, please let us know.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Dan2222. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for contributing to the discussion.
I trust any members coming across this discussion will appreciate your input. Did you need to buy the entire flush mechanism, or was there an inexpensive replacement washer available? It seems a shame to buy a whole new outlet when @Mateus only needed to source a washer. It's always best to select an outlet valve you can readily source and replace the disposable parts on.
I'll be looking forward to hearing all about your other projects going on around the house and garden. Please reach out anytime you need assistance or have something to share.
