I always have used Contitech timing belts and have never had a problem similar to what you have found.
I will suggest this regarding tensioning - or - retensioning the belt -- it does not make any difference where the crankshaft timing is when you set the tension. What matters is that any slack is set to the tensioner side. Loosen the lock nut for the tensioner, rotate the crankshaft clockwise about 30 degrees or so to take any slack out of the camshaft-idle gear-crankshaft side. Tighten the lock nut.
After posting the preceding I thought to add this. Personally I've never figured out what the double line is supposed to match--basically I ignore it and just make sure the camshaft and idle shaft marks align (on 240 models) and the crankshaft is truly at TDC. Question--are the total number of teeth the same between brands? If so - I wouldn't be too concerned over lines on the belt on your 940. With the camshaft set to the mark on the head and the crankshaft aligned with the nub on the front crank seal housing it will all work. - Dave
