The link I sent you will sort it. That is what happened to my rubber gasket
-
Thanks for that. I don’t know this stuff
-
Not necessary for the gasket. It stretches over the base
-
It’s easy. Just place over the base and stretch it into place.
No silicone is necessary.
-
Yes. Longer is better.
i sealed by base with a new gasket like below. Fitted perfectly.

I bought original length aerials for both my cars. They were 40mm.
The research I did suggested short stub aerials are not so effective as longer ones.
Good luck

Mine was simple screw out/screw in.
This video below appears to be yours too.
-
If it’s like the ones I showed you, it will unscrew.
i can only guess it may be rusted or cross threaded.
-
They came supplied with 2 different adapters. One 6mm to 6mm. One 6mm to 5mm

Not on mine. It was a simple screw out.
I also just replaced one on my Mini Roadster and that too, was exactly the same.
-
The whip part has a male screw thread. It screws into the female thread on the roof base.
Mine came off quite easily. It may be seized and require grips on the male thread.
Good luck

How much did you pay? What tool did they use?
£80 for the whole job....key and coding.
Tool............they used a variety of software programmes to work through the process on three different mobile devices. Sorry but I can’t tell you anything more “techie” than that. At one point the key would start the car but then cut out. It was soon sorted after a bit more “magic”. All well above my pay grade!!

Immo2 in a Lupo is easily hackable with VAG commander. Immo3 remains troublesome as I am currently finding...
Watch this space though.
It seemed that the later Lupo key could be done easily enough but the earlier ones, like my 2000 model, were a problem.
-
For what it’s worth, all the key people I contacted said the Lupo was a particular problem child to duplicate keys for.
Timpsons did a transponder key for a mates 1999 Polo for £55, but there was sighing and gnashing of teeth when they read the Lupo key.
-
The five digit pin code began with a zero.
-
Once completed, I was supplied the 8 digit key code and a 5 digit PIN code

Been told that they use OBD port to pair up keys and RKE. So obviously a question of the right software, nothing else...
That’s exactly what was done, though they used a number of different software programmers to identify the correct coding.

Swap the yellow and red wire.
Thanks for that info. The aftermarket Sony in my Lupo would not hold presets, the correct time, any general settings, and I could not disable the demo mode (flashing lights etc etc).
All sorted withe the swap of yellow and red wires. Great. Thanks again.

Good value - shame they are so far away from Scotland! - did they need the key and car to be together?
If its key only - I may be passing the home of the "Sauce" in the nears future.
It was key and car.
The key was cut in a few minutes. The reading and pairing of the chip took some time and involved going through a process using my original key and the new duplicate key being inserted into the ignition.

How much did you pay for the key cutting and the immobiliser chip pairing up? I need this too...
£80 as a total job......key, key cutting and chipping.
Timpsons claim they could have done it but it would have been around £130. I have my doubts though. There was an issue with the coding on the Lupo. In fairness, Timpsons charged my mate £55 for a straightforward Polo job.
It seems the Lupo is a problem. I only found one other locksmith who could do it.
Hope that helps.

Just stretch it over the base. No need to remove headliner or the base screw.
No connections needed
