B6 or 8E?...here's a reference I saw
Audi Platform Generation / Type Code Guide
Audi currently has four basic "platforms" on which all models are built. The A platform is the smallest, and shared with the VW Golf/Jetta/New Beetle. The B platform is the medium size platform, the C platform is the large sedan platform, and the D platform is the top range platform. The platform code is not to be confused with the Audi model names (e.g., The Audi A4 model is built on the B5 platform). Each of these platforms have specific type (project) codes that identify the basic chassis type and other specifics. Here is a quick reference.
