particle filter removal + cat problems electric

Hi everybody. got a lot of probs with my pug n hope someone can actually help me :/

i read the" How TO: Diesel Particle Filter Removal- The Final Solution? " thread AND tryed to remove my particle filter.

unforenantly i read the topic a few days before removal - so by misstake i removed the "CAT c/w downpipe" INCLUDING THE SENSOR THERE -instead of the particle filter which was opend but on the other side.. so i took out the wrong part.

so far ive read taking this off was not the worst idea ( accept for the sensor there i guess)
ass for now i just got the error particle filter is full and additive gas oil tank is empty.

i took of the CAT c/w downpipe and the sensor also disconnected the cable to the sensor and to the tap opener sensor (next to the real gas tank below) (as it said the tap was open - which is / was not the case) and also the electric cable (there are 3) to the ( i hope n guessed ) small additive tank(the small one on the left)

never the less the error for -open tap- was gone but .. minimum level addtive gasoil emty and (clearly) particle filter to be cleaned where there.

NOW my car doesnt start anymore even though additional battery is connected and checked .. the car says the tank is totally emty board computer cant calculate anymore and the car doesnt start at all.

i checked the diesel pump there is gas and its pumping. also the battery seems ok ( green light) and connected to power ad.

can anybody bloody help me? :( is it the sensor on the particle filter behind the cat messin my lamp or board computer?

thanks so much for any help! :idea:

not too sure about it, but i think you might have to get your ecu programed to delete the Particle Filter out of the system, just a guess because i heard of a fella in a golf that had to do something like that

thanks a lot but i read through the forums and didnt find any of those? can you please give me a hint?

i really need to permanent stop those errors either by electric oder fault the sensors which get me in the need of the software or cable structure to know how which sensor :|
