electronic throttle control

It seems that Drosselklappenverstelleinheit refers to the whole thing, not the actuator only. Bosch (Motronic = Bosch) calls it electronic throttle control.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks all, and particularly Klaus, as this is the official version. I don't know where I had my head at this time of extreme fatigue, but I somehoe got it into my addled brain that Einheit might be "coordinated trottle control" or something. BTW I decided not to buy the car; I'll stick with my trusty Reliant Robin pro temps ;-)"

throttle adjustment unit, throttle adjuster

any technical dictionary will give you "throttle" or "gas regulator" for Drosselklappe, and Verstelleinheit is any kind of adjusting device
