How to remove cistern lid on a duravit toilet

This guy's video tells you how to service the parts:
For me the problem turned out to be that these gears got misaligned at some point. The blue piece should be "locked" into this position. If the white gears are not aligned correctly they will get stuck and the seal at the bottom (the flapper) will not slide freely down all the way.

I think our toilet is a Duravit.
Close the seat and the lid then have a look at the back of the hinges. If you can see a small hole in the back of the hinge there will be a grub screw in the hole and you can undo it with an allen key (not sure what size - you'll have to try a couple)

Have you tried to remove the outer ring by unscrewing it before you attempt to remove the buttons? I don,t think you should remove the buttons first.

There are some dual flush cisterns where you have to depress one button to reveal a cavity in the second button. Put a screwdriver in that cavity to left out the second button, then release the first button and pry that out.

Underneath the buttons is a screw which must be unscrewed to release the cistern lid.

Not sure if this will apply to you... but if not, good luck anyway.

HI, Duravit spare parts can be a nightmare to find, and my best solution to you would be to unscrew the push button from the cistern lid. Take it along to your local plumbers merchant who will more than likely have a suitable non-genuine part that will work just as good.

the botton should adjust up and down by tuning it left or right

hi i would suggest your ball valve in the cistern needs ajusting remove the top of the cistern you will see the ajustment screw at the end fo the ball **** arm hope this helps

Hi,

This is caused by the 'syphon' mechanism sticking, quite often nowadays the 'brilliant' plastic push button/ syphon combo sticks, and most toilets are fitted with an internal overflow, lift the lid on the cistern and check for anything causing an obstruction.

More often than not, it's a tiny bit of scale that causes such a headache, and the fact that nothing is made with any quality nowadays!

If you can't see what's wrong call a plumber, he/she will solve it.

I hope this helps

The cistern lid is held down by the chrome assembly (which includes the two buttons that you press to make the toilet flush) sticking up in the middle of the lid. You need to unscrew that (anticlockwise) to be able to lift the lid off, to get to the inlet valve, etc.

If the water is running in very slowly, chances are high that the small screen filter under the inlet valve is partially blocked. Working inside the cistern, you need to unscrew the inlet valve assembly (noting the order in which the various parts come out!), then unscrew the cranked fitting just under that, to get the screen/filter.
