Default Petrol 4.2 part number needed

Hi all.

I hope I am posting this in the right place, if not, please could admins move it?

I have discovered a broken linkage on the intake of my 2004 D3 4.2 v8.

There are two vacuum operated butterflies (I believe, if it's the same as the Vauxhall v6?) The linkage between the vacuum unit and the butterfly has snapped. I tried gluing it but superglue doesn't have the strength to hold it together.

I called in at my local audi parts department and they could only find the entire vacuum unit which was in excess of £250, so I'm hoping one of you helpful peeps could find the right part number for me. Otherwise I will try and get one made up as I'm sure it is very similar to the suspension links. A new link can be made from the parts similar to the lowering links I got.
