The part number is A6170703622 (Thanks again, Phil).

I called the dealer before looking around. Their price was $287!

I wound up paying $211 online, plus tax and shipping, bringing it to $250.

Still, an unbelievable price, for a part like this. Oh well.
If that price is just for the control lever; I think some dealers in the US are really taking the piss - my part was expensive but if I remember correctly it was "only" around the 50 euro mark. They could however have given you a price for the whole engine throttle linkage...
