I'm attaching a picture of the mix actuator. It is directly next to the gas pedal, a black piece with white arm and pink wires on the electrical connector.
In my '97 it is held onto the bracket with 3 8mm hex-head screws. You can use a short 8mm box end wrench, or a low-profile phillips head socket to remove it. To remove the connector you press the tab downward.
In this picture the metal rod on the left is the gas pedal. Air mix actuator is the dusty thing.
I found a '99 Q45 in a junkyard but the part was different on that car. bummer
