As 'The Laird' mentions, use something like VCDS to locate the faulty one. From what I've read previously, if one fails on the D3 it seems to disable the lot.

If you don't have VCDS, people have suggested switching the ignition to the ON position, put it in reverse, and then either place your finger on the end of each sensor in turn and you should feel it or place your ear next to it.
