Hello,
The belt could have the wrong tension on it. I would check the belt tensioner, and double check the routing of the belt and make sure that it is not rubbing anywhere. Unfortunately we do not have information on this model of vehicle in either of our reference guides, so I'm assuming that it is a vehicle that is outside of the United States. Here are a couple general guides for inspecting the serpentine belt tensioner:

The serpentine belt routing should be available on the bottom of the hood, and if not should be in your vehicle's owner manual. Please check these components out and get back to us with what you are able to find out.
Thanks,
Alex
