Hi GIOFORTE2010,

Yes, I am happy to help you, this condition can be caused by two different problems. The first problem is and serpentine belt needs to be replaced or the belt tensioner which you can follow these guides for

and

or the compressor needs to be replaced which I have made a guide for here
