Default Need some help

I have a 1995 audi A6 2.8, its been wierd with the starting lately and then it just stopped starting while i was at a gas station on saturday, ive had to pop the clutch to start it since then, ive tested the battery and its in good working order, and the car runs fine once its started, when i go to start it it doesnt click or anything, a bike mechanic told me its possibly the solenoid but i wanted some other opions before i went changing things, any and all help will be greatly appreciated! thanks,
Rich

If its not even clicking, check the power to the starter, if its 12V's or more replace the starter.
