New owner queries

Hi

Just joined this forum (which looks to be the most active and useful) as I have just bought an 04 S4 Tiptronic in red, black leather with 50k kms on the clock. Had it fully checked by the dealer here and it got a few recommendations that need sorting out, but nothing too urgent so any advice on the following:
1. ACF (Carbon filter) - where is it, is it needed and is it a DIY change
2. Bushes are apparently starting to crack so are OEM best or what about powerflex or similar
3. It has a built in Audi/Nokia handset on the passenger side which looks bad - is it possible to change this set up easily to bluetooth?
4. The audio system is a Symphony with Bose and has a 6 CD changer in the dash. Is there an easy way to connect an MP3/Ipod ?

Appreciate any help....

The car does make the grumble sound on full lock which seems to be a common complaint with these and other quattros.

Overall I am pleased with the car and it gives me flash backs on a S2 I had in the 90s (but a bit more benign). Since then I have had mainly BMWs, an Alpina V8 and recently a 911T which I now use for weekends, so the S4 is a good no nonsense, solid but fast daily driver for me. Here the petrol is 80p a gallon so I get the chance to open it up regularly!
