Correct. The one that attaches the output line of the main pump which goes to the fuel distributor. It's purpose is to maintain fuel pressure when the car isn't running so the engine starts quickly. I would just clean up the banjo bolts you have, and get new copper crush washers, which should be replaced any time the banjo bolts are removed for any reason. There are always two washers per bolt, one on each side of the fitting, as in one between the head of the bolt and the fitting, and the other between the fitting and the pump. Also, sometimes the copper washers have different ID's. The washer that goes under the head of the bolt may have a slightly larger ID than the one that goes on the threaded side. I can't recall if that's the case with the fuel pump banjos, but I definitely remember it being the case somewhere on my 16V. Could have been at the brake calipers, but not sure anymore.
