The Audi A4 B5 Avant, produced from 1994 to 2001, represents a pivotal moment in Audi's history. This generation of the A4 marked a significant departure from its predecessor, the Audi 80, both aesthetically and in terms of technology. The B5 introduced a new platform, known as the "Platform 8D," which offered enhanced handling and refinement. The Avant, the station wagon variant, provided practicality and versatility without sacrificing the A4's sporty character. Its sleek, aerodynamic design, with its distinctive sloping roofline and large rear hatch, complemented its agile handling and powerful engine options. The B5 Avant's interior was also a significant improvement over its predecessor, offering a more premium and driver-focused environment. Equipped with high-quality materials and a well-thought-out layout, the B5 Avant delivered a comfortable and refined driving experience.

Besides its stylish exterior and refined interior, the Audi A4 B5 Avant was also renowned for its mechanical prowess. It offered a range of powerful and efficient engines, including the iconic 1.8T turbocharged four-cylinder and the smooth 2.8-liter V6. The B5 Avant also introduced several advanced features, such as the quattro all-wheel-drive system, which provided exceptional handling and traction in all weather conditions. The availability of a manual transmission further enhanced the driving experience, offering a more engaging and involving connection with the car. While the B5 Avant offered a compelling blend of practicality, performance, and refinement, it also presented its share of challenges. Known for its complex mechanical systems and intricate electrical architecture, the B5 Avant required specialized knowledge and tools for maintenance and repair. This is where the WSM (Workshop Service Manual) comes into play, providing detailed instructions and diagrams to assist mechanics and DIY enthusiasts in tackling even the most challenging repair procedures.
