I have just fitted a new close coupled w.c. I followed the instructions when it came to fitting the cistern to the bowl, e.g i noted the order in which to place the nuts/washers and bolts to secure the cistern to the pan. Filled the cistern and it started to weep from both the securing nuts. On the underside of the cistern is a wingnut, i tightened these as much as i dare less i broke them or the cistern but still it leaked. I phoned the manufacturer and they said although they do not officially recommend it they suggested i use sealant on the washer on the inside of the cistern.
This seems a bit backward, it seems to me as though they are indirectly saying their fixings are not 100% waterproof and to use sealant.
To get to my question, am i unlucky or is there a common problem if so do you generally seal the washers ?
