I have a 98 Montero Sport, whenever my belt sqeaks I check the tension and usually thats the problem. Tighten them accordingly and it should solve it. As for the timing belt, mine is a belt not chain. First time I had it changed was at 100,000 miles and the dealrship said I was cutting it close ><
Hi Barikinas,
I would suggest you check the knock sensor and the egr operation as the knock sensor should send information to the computer to correct the ignition timing and the egr malfunction will prevent the temperature of the combustion chamber to lower thus producing more oxides and the temperature goes higher.
Cheers
