My 2007 VW Passat 2.0T B6 FSI BPY engine quit running at idle with no prior warning indicators, and no MILs or DTCs subsequently. The starter engages but doesn't turn over the engine.

Welcome to Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair! I'm assuming by you stating the start engages but doesn't turn over, you actually mean the starter turns the engine over (makes it go around), but it doesn't want to run? (I've adjusted the tags according to this ... if it's wrong, please correct them.) Here's a stupid question for you: Are you sure you have fuel in the tank? Also, you'll want to ensure the fuel pump is running ... If you can hear it, you'll need to put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail to see if you are getting fuel pressure. One place to start looking.

Thanks, Paulster2, I'm new here, and it took a while to make the complete post. Sorry that it is so much, but for someone like you it's a treasure trove to follow the story as it unwinds. I lived to tell. The YouTube video is my next project, to post it, to stand by as I do a final edit to include a reference to this text release.

I'm sorry to have picked the wrong site to release the complete text volume. I will try to release both the text and video file to a file sharing service, so that I can reference it instead. My aim is to get this information out there. The short story is that after exhaustive labor based on the Bently DVD-ROM repair manual, and after incurring much undue expense, I made a successful repair, with what I believe to be an improvement. The intake camshaft adjuster chain and tensioner had failed. This is one of the two timing links in the overhead power train. The first is the timing belt, and the second is the timing chain, it has both. In the process of effecting this repair, I also discovered other relevant information. As there is pending litigation concerning premature failure of this part, I think that what I have to say is important. The manual indicates that the chain tensioner is properly installed when the mechanic is able to manually depress the tensioner, and I was only able to do this with difficulty, which indicated an over-tension situation. I believe that this, along with other design concerns, including the oil filter mounting tube failure, lead to timing failure in this interference motor, which usually blows the motor. Replacing the oil filter mounting tube with a perforated metal tube, and filing a flat surface on the chain tensioner shaft above the oil port, will go a long way towards successful operation. I hope to be allowed to continue with this post as I follow up, thanks. I have file-shared the deleted post in pdf format at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jf9bbgoianlvmxn/VW%20repair%20submission.pdf?dl=0
The video is in the works and will soon be released.
