Mine is a 95 Audi A6. After changing timing belt last week, there is squeaky noise when car is in idle. The mechanic say it is because of poor serpentine belt which I bought it new myself from partsbin.com. Is it true? If not, what could be the problem?

Thanks a lot.

Make sure the right (passenger) side timing belt cover is fitted into the slot or channel in the crank pulley cover. I had a similar problem and I think that was the cause.

Remove the Surpentine belt and run the car. If the noise is gone then you thats the problem.

The noise comes out even without the plastic covers

I agree with Disco Stu. If the waterpump and tensioner was not changed - do it now before it's too late. A wrecked waterpump migth result in damages leading to a wrecked timing belt a.s.o.
Normally the waterpump will not outlast the timing belt !!

Remove the serpentine belt and run the engine. If that solves the problem, then we'll have to figure out where the squeak is comming from...

the serpentine belt in less than the time it takes to make a pit stop in Nascar....
