starting - no crank

[mk3concepts]

alright another starting problem..ive looked at the threads already..but each thread has its own simptom..one common is no crank..same with mine..im thinking its the starter or alternator..i try to turn the engine on..no crank what so ever..tried again..no crank..tried a jumpstart..no luck..tried a push start..works!..so whats wrong? whats the problem?the push start seems to get the car going

Well if you've tried jump starting it - that rules out battery. If you can push start it and the car runs - alternator/battery must work to provide spark. Sounds like a starter problem. When you turn the key, does it make a "click" sound then nothing? Most common problem I've seen so far is the starter contacts go.
