It is a major service because it involves a replacement of the timing belt. My car hasn't reached 120K km yet, but because of a water pump failure at around 90K km I had the timing belt replaced then since many of the same disassembly was already required. I think it added in the high-hundreds to the cost, so I expect you will be well over the $1,000 mark for the 120K km service.

The 2.0TSI engine uses a timing chain, not a belt (although the TDI does use a timing belt). So the chain is not replaced unless it has stretched or failing in some other manner.
The 120k service will consist of:
- DSG Gearbox service (oil and oil filter change)
- Haldex AWD service (oil change)
- Brake fluid change
- Brakes may need to be changed depending on wear and when/if they have been replaced before
- Engine oil and oil filter change
- Cabin A/C filter
- Engine air filter
There might be a few other things on the 120k service list, but those should be most of them. It will be $1000-1200+ plus with at least 1/2 of that being the DSG and Haldex service costs.
Had my 120K done last month at reputable independent, all of the above + manual gearbox oil change (at my request). $850. Oh! No air filter as i have a 'servicable' one that i clean & re-oil myself. A little shocked to see spark plugs @ $29 ea!!
