Man, that switch looks a lot like the WOT (Wide Open Throttle) and idle 
switches for the turbo engine that I'm going to install in my Audi!

Here is a picture of the throttle body for my Audi turbo engine that I'm 
building right now. The black switch is the idle switch, the grey one is 
the WOT switch.

So, on to part numbers. By checking the numbers for the switches on this 
Audi engine, I find that there was a change in 83/84. The 81-83 Idle 
switch even has a type 4 part number, which makes me believe this is the 
exactly same switch as your car has! If it is now made of unobtanium, 
you may find that the newer switch works just as well as the older one.

Idle switch part numbers:

411 927 211 (Audi -> 83)
443 906 277 B (Audi 84 ->)

The WOT switch has part numbers:

437 906 277 (-> 83)
443 906 27 D (84 ->)

These are for the Audi quattro, engine code WR. Hopefully, you can get a 
new switch from the VW or Audi dealer. If not, I can probably help you 
find a used switch, as I'm also a subscriber on the Audi mailing list 
located at http://www.audifans.com/quattro The main list (aka the 
quattro-list) currently has over 1000 subscribers, so getting a switch 
shouldnt be too hard.
