Yep it sure did. The space between the IP and the oil filter housing is exactly the sapce apart to get the bolt out (you gotta love the Germans!). Its a little tricky to put it back in because of the space situation, but a small enough hand will get it going. Most important thing to remember is that you have to make sure its threaded correctly. The thread on the bolt is fine thread, so if you jump a thread,

!!! It really only took me 15 minutes. BTW, when you check the idle after the car has reached op. temp, and you feel you need to adjust the rack bolt, be very very careful of the oil filter housing. It is EXTREMELY hot. Don't ask how I know!
Good luck
