serpentine belt

Can a serpentine failure cause a timing belt issue? Or are they one in the same?
Had a serp belt changed, then had timing belt issue. Service done at Audi service garage.

Thanks!

More likely that the timing belt tensioner was getting loose and allowed the timing belt to slip a tooth.

For the AR4.2 is it a timing belt or a chain?
