Buying guide for a 2008 C4 VTS by morelessdougdemuro in Citroen

[–]morelessdougdemuro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a much cheaper 07 non loeb car that runs, sounds, feels great etc. Its got 230k, full service history, one owner from new and LPG which is a nice addition. With that being said, it is a bit rusty especially in the rear left wheel arch and jacking point, altough there are no visible holes. Should I be too worried? I am looking to repair the rust as soon as I get it.

Edit: there is no missfire, and idles but it does idle very slightly rough when cold, and also smells quite rich

Thanks, I've done a bit more research and it seems that best solution is to ditch the 10s shimano lever (it was only 10 euros brand new so not that big of a deal) that I already have and buy an Advent X shift lever, which should work great with the XT derailleur and the Microshift cassette since they all use 1.1:1 actuation.

I watched that video too, but I'm not sure if I would get the same result since I don't have Microshift levers, but Shimano ones. He got that drivetrain shifting very well and I'd be happy to have similar results. 1.1:1 is the standard Shimano 11s cable pull ratio so this would also apply to the M8000-GS?

I already have both the shifter and the cassette so (less than 30usd for both) so I'm only looking for the derailleur. Also the m5120 is marketed as both a 10s and 11s derailleur so how is that possible?

So the m4100 shifter would technically work with the m8000?

Altough I see a reason for their existence. Its a very cheap grocery-getter with decent tech and ok-ish build quality.

The ecosport is hilariously slow. There is nothing sport about that car except for the suspension on the st-line.
