One of mine is faulty, and the easiest way I found to test it by myself was pretty simple. Call up the measuring block in VCDS. As you say, they all show 255. Next, just attach a piece of paper to the bumper so that it covers a sensor. Then check VCDS. If the sensor is working, it will show 0 and not 255. Then just repeat the process on all the sensors. Mine is a front centre fault, which means a bumper off job, which I'll get around to... eventually.
