Default A4 B8 TDI CAGA diesel new timing belt, wont stay running

Followed manual and changed timing belt and water pump and locked the crank and cam gear and injector pump with special tool kit.
Put it back together, its starts for 5 seconds then stops.
The key is stuck in the ignition unless I disconnect the battery to get it out.
It has a loud alarm for 30 seconds but no check engine light and no crashing of valves hitting the head so it starts for 5 seconds.
When the enging swith is on, the water pump keeps running.
Why wont it keep running?
Do I need to get a diagnostic tool and clear codes etc.Or an expensive back of the truck trip to Audi that I cant afford.
Please any help would be wonderful.

My 14 a4 needed it around 85k. Had a bunch of cel and sluggish starts to let me know it was time. You should get some warning I doubt you'll blow your motor without any warnings. But I'm not a mechanic so could be wrong 🤷
