Dan, I'd say no, she didn't. I haven't found any mid-1942 picture of U-166, but in the pictures of Type IXs taken at Lorient in late 1941 and 1942 none of the boats sported the net cutter anymore (U-166 arrived in Lorient on 10 July 1942 and left for her first and last patrol on 17 July 1942). U-166 was launched in 1942, by that time net cutters had already been discontinued on type IX boats.
Cheers
SG

Hi SG,
As suggested, this topic has been moved to the Type IX section.
